My friend, you can consider yourself lucky . . . these were the gentler souls that commented so far.
First thing you need do is read the Road Cycling Introduction, as dcbikeguy and bdcheung have suggested, so that you are forewarned and fore-armed.
Next consider Paul Barnard's suggestions.
Finally, get some thicker skin . . . this is the internet after all.
