This is my first season road cycling and I thought I was pretty good so I signed up for a time trail with one of my friends who's a more season cyclist. I was of course in the CAT5 group, age 18-34. The time trail was 22 miles so I was expecting a time of around 1 hour. I finished 11 of 12 in my age group and was amazed at the times of the other riders... See results link below...
