I organize free British Cycling Guided Rides (off road), usually between 2 and 4 per month in South Lincolnshire (South Holland) anyone is welcome to come along but it has to be booked through the www.letsride.co.uk website to keep it all above board with BC.
Re:
I still put a ride on every month in our area group, in fact we are riding on Saturday.

Admittedly not may ride retro bikes these days, just the riders are retro :facepalm:

Re:
I think part of the problem in organising large national scale group rides is the lack of commitment from those attending. You put a large effort into getting everything sorted, in the case of National series rides there is much to be done.
Route planning - including route recces (may not be local to organiser) and ride guide route familiarity - the person at the back needs to know which direction the front of the ride has gone.
Liaising with the land owners for access permission - you can't turn up at a trail centre with 40+ people in a group and expect them to help you.
Organising lunch stops and parking - you can't turn up at a trail centre with 40+ people in a group and expect them to help you.
First Aid provisions - qualified first aider with proper kit.
Risk Assessments - required for insurance purposes and land owners protection.
None of this happens by chance.
No wonder these rides no longer happen.
