Stick with it. The best way to get fast is to keep showing up.
I rode a metric last weekend, no pace lines ... pretty much solo. Yesterday I rode the first half again and said I was going to see if I could do some of the climbs faster. Nope, both climbs I was faster with just the psychological push of riding in a group.
