I agree with Fizz's advice for large groups, but going out in 2s and 3s with people you know (or at least trust) might actually help, especially if they are safe riders (rather than balls out, knee down action heros which you don't need at the moment!) and you follow them sometimes watching their lines, etc.

Also handy to to stop and talk things through over a coffee and a burger.

I was lucky in that regard and have since been lucky to find a few people on here with a similar mindset to me.... quickish but above all safe.

Personally, I'd be happy to nip out for an hour or two with you on a weekday evening and I know one or two others on here would too (but I'll let them volunteer!!)

But not this week. Sorry
