Another thing you have to remember is speed doesn't come over night. I rode my first year thinking the guys doing 20 in a paceline were superfast. I thought I'd never be able to hold 20 even on the back of a paceline. I kept riding, threw in some hills including ez ride recovery days. A year later I woke up one morning and blew down the trail at 26 leaving that paceline far behind. I was shocked.

Give it time for the leg muscles to develope and adjust to cycling. One thing that really enhanced riding is sustained climbs cause you have no choice but to keep the energy flowing.
