Laurie, we ride with groups all the time. Some rides are better than others. Just make sure everyone knows the hand signals and uses them. We ride staggered with a 2 second gap between the bike in front. Never criss-cross in the pack to change positions, just move forward to fill it. Also we usually split ourselves into small groups of 6-9. Works better for traffic and twisties. But most of all, have fun and relax. I too have led a couple of short rides through town and it can be nerve racking, but before I know it, it's over and I've done a good job and your confidence will be soaring and you can check another accomplishment off your list. I agree with the other's, leave your daughter at home and don't over think this. Maybe share the ride leadership with another couple of women. There are probably others that are nervous as you are. I await your post on Sunday.
Enjoy and my prayers are with you for a really fun day!! Kathy
