Recently got a '14 Trek Domane and have been racking up the miles. I found a group nearby that does 50 mile rides most Saturday mornings and states 14-16mph. What speed should be able to maintain on my own to not get dropped?

Riding in a group is a huge help, drafting will save you about 20% of the power that you'd use trying to ride those speeds on your own.
