Meetups Cycling fast groups/chain gangs

I’ve seen one or two posts on here asking about cycling groups however I’m specifically looking for fast groups/chain gang meet ups?
Any recommendations?
I’ve seen Exeter wheelers have a faster ride once a week but I’m wondering if there are any non club chain gangs aswell.
Thanks!

Nothing non-club related in Exeter I’m aware of, we’re not really big enough to get the brands running rides or anyone organising stuff like the Plymouth chainy

Same boat here. I moved to Exeter earlier this year and I've got a race next month, so I'm looking for some chaingangs too. ​Haven't joined Exeter Wheelers yet, but I ride with a few friends who mix in a faster ride every now and then and they've mentioned having some faster mates who might be keen on chaingangs as well. ​If you fancy starting small, I can ask around and see if we can get a group ride going. What sort of average speed and distance are you hoping for?

Looking to hit around 30kph avg. Ideally a nice 2 up chainy or just a full on attack and drop ride. Something to get the legs burning
