hmmm Tom,

1 week of riding experience? Imma be blunt here, Tom... you should be in front of her at all times. I see that you can assert that she can ride her own ride and that is good, nurture that! But YOU should lead the group of you, her and anyone else that wants to run a pace that you set for your daughter. Otherwise, skip the group rides until she is a bit more seasoned or unless the groups FULLY accepts the weakest link.

This is my opinion from one parent to another, nothing more. Any chance your daugher has much more experience riding via dirt and the likes?

To the OP question: When I am in a new group, I ride in the middle somewhere that feels right.
