Recently I have started road riding about a month ago after getting a job at my LBS previously this year, for a while I was skeptical about going on the club ride (a 30 mile ride, fairly little for hills) and my boss wasn't sure I would be able to keep up, i tried it a few times on random bikes we had in the shop and didn't do to great, i was one of the last people in. Then I bought my bike and everything took off, I was able to average 20.5 for the ride, hanging with the guys that have been doing this for years. People are saying maybe I should look into racing, I'm 16 right now, 17 in about a week and a half. (Not that it effects my skills) any other opinions? I'm just curious what people think :]
