Always check everything before leaving if someone else is arranging, unless you know they are very experienced. Ask the others to write down their itinerary, give details on travel plans and how they will work. Ask what food and water they're bringing.
Nothing worse than getting off the train 8 hours later than expected with no sleep, 35kg on your bike and find you have to make a 1000m ascent in blazing heat and your friend has no water because he thought they would be a buffet cart on the train aaaand you need to make it to the trailhead before the shop closes!
Learned that one the hard way.
