Getting old but not past it

I joined my local college bike group and had our first ride today, 40 miles. I am sorry to say that this is the last group ride I will ever do and will stick to riding solo from now on. The reason is simple: I am too slow! Every one was ok but I just can't keep up with them. I know they were all younger than me but I just can't match their cruising speed. When I tried, I was exhausted after a short while and then my speed dropped drastically until I recovered enough to go faster but still at my own speed. So that's it, just me and the bike from now on as we get on alright, at a speed we are both happy with.
