Thanks :) I've been doing fast and frequent group rides for years. Haven't had accidents in a group yet, knock on wood. FWIW, I get more easily distracted when I'm alone. People riding 5in from me doing 25+mph keep me quite alert.

What I think is good if you get a lot of experience on the bike before you start doing group rides. That's what I did. Some people get fitness quickly after starting the sport and when they join the group rides, it gets dangerous - no bike handling skills, but the speed is high.
