A word of caution here, if I may...
Group 5 is filling up quickly, with a lot saying phrases like 'Stick me down for group 5, bike should be ready by then' etc...
Now, if this is likely to be a lot of peeps first proper rideout for some time, I would suggest you are going to be rusty, the bike needs a run and might play up, and most are new and don't realise just how fast the group 5 boys ride...
Why not err on the side of caution and play with the guys and gals in group 3 to start with (they're no slouches) and you can always tag on to group 4 or 5 when they catch up...

I imagine riding at 60 on the backroads and 70 on the dual carriageways with both wheels on the ground. Never going more than 1/2 the rev range.
