Welcome Amanda,
I am sure you would be fine on the rides. At present most Sundays, all of which would be reasonable training for the Ribble Valley Ride. Only Andrea and I last Sunday. We averaged 15 Km/hr also over 77 Km, though it was bl***y hilly. Probably be a flatter ride this Sunday, If you have any suggestions that would accommodate you I can incorporate them. I can guarantee if you do come on the Sunday rides you should be well able to to the Ribble Valley ride. I too will be happy to go as a group ride, not sure which distance. The 60 mile was tough enough when I did it, but the route changes.
