Leah, the short answer is a resounding YES! If you are going to do group rides you (and everyone else) will get in over your head. It’s very easy to exert too much & you are done, especially if it is not a “no drop” ride. It’s worth mentioning that crashes are not infrequent on these speedier group
Two biggest differences (in my opinion) between a Clem L and either a Gus or Susie; the latter are not step through frames & they both have a significantly higher bottom bracket than the Clem. I think the Clem is accurately described as a “Hillibike”. Gus & Susie are legit mountain bikes. Love them
