You don't mention road or MTB.
If road and being an unfit novice i would not recommend TDF just yet unless you hook up with an experienced rider who is prepared to sit with you.
MTB you can join Finish Line sat rides, 2 groups, tea party and WTF.

When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat, always something more important to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house.. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway." The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.

Should we think about a hub dump ride. Been a while since we had one.
