Following on from what @BlakeG has said, keep an eye on the threads about Tuesday and Wednesday rides: http://forum.islington.cc/conversations/265856/newest/ and http://forum.islington.cc/conversations/132/newest/. Also keep and eye on the weather. There will nearly always be someone out, but, unsurprisingly, the good weather will bring out more.
What sort of pace are you imaging? It's generally considered sensible for newcomers to get used to the club on a more relaxed ride, hence the suggestion to try Sat or Sun when there are multiple groups. However, I've not noticed any problem with one or two prospective members joining less specifically gentle rides - provided that they are comfortable with the pace (we don't drop riders, but it's not a great or sensible intro to be stretched for the whole ride).
That's s shame, I'm only in London midweek for work unfortunately.
Thanks anyway.
Paul.
