Gosh, thanks for the feedback. I think I might be suffering from the age old habit of comparing myself to everyone around me. I get dropped a lot on the 70 mile club rides on Saturdays and probably push to hard to catch back up. I am sure it is fairly common to be like me when you first start and think that magically you wont be susceptible to all of the road blocks and hardships that cyclists run into. I have probably set my sight a little too high from the beginning and I need to put my larger goals a bit further out and focus on technique and time.
