Will, I wouldn't worry about riding with a large group. You will be surprised how quickly the group gets dispersed along the trail. It will be nothing like riding in the peloton in the Tour d' France! We ride the Pedaler's Jamboree every year and with a thousand or more riders on the same 30 mile stretch of trail, sometimes we are riding alone except at the food, music, beverage stops.
