There are a lot of local clubs to ride with.
If you shop or service at a particular bike shop, vast majority of them will have a group ride in the spring through the summer.
Or try a ride with MEC.
Tuesday night La Bicicletta rides will start the first Tuesday in May. They meet up in Stanley Park, and separate the people in A,B,C,D groups. Very common to have 100+ riders attend, so each group is at least 20+. Great social ride.
Or look into joining a club. Again, depending on where you live there are a lot of clubs local to you. Glotman Simpson, Escape Velocity, Dopo Bici, Steeds, etc

But i'd like to get some experience riding in some groups as i'll be doing the Tour de Victoria in august, and am aiming for a 32-35km/h average over the 140k route. I have a feeling it would be smart to test out the waters with some people around me before I start playing with hundreds, if not thousands of riders at once.
