Locals who ride faster than me.....a lot faster

Last night was my first time racing in the Summit Mountain Challenge, a racing series that caters to locals here in Summit County. Some of the riders are pros, and a handful are guys and gals that are in pretty good shape just looking to have a good time and push themselves mentally and physically. Being of the latter type, I was quite pumped up going into the 17 mile race on a course that I love. I didn't see what a demoralizing experience this would be for me! The guys in my group (Sport men 19-29) are very good riders that somewhat put me to shame last night. I was only about 12 minutes behind most of the riders in my class, but I just wanted to do better. I won't give up though, and plan on doing more races as the summer goes on. Hopefully my times will improve as I become more experienced riding with people who are that much better than myself!
