New (beautiful) road bike -> what now?

I've been a bike commuter for 3 years now, love my bike, love to ride, but have been itching to get a little more serious about things and go on smoother, longer, faster rides.  So this weekend I finally pulled the trigger on my first road bike.  (I'm weak in the knees just thinking about it!)  So now I'm wanting to find some groups to go do some weekend rides with, or just some cycling partners, but I don't know where to start.  All the cycle clubs seem intimidating - I'm not a racer (yet) - just want a smooth intro into this next level of biking. 

Suggestions?
