Then they started riding. It was like they had gotten shot out of a cannon, and I was tailgunning within 2 minutes. they were ALL better at EVERYTHING: on the flats, climbs, downhills, technical sections, dirt roads, you name it. I was literally the worst... everywhere. The only thing that kept me going was "one of these people will crack". (Then I cracked.)
Wasn't really fun at the time but in hindsight, one of my best rides ever. Stuck around until covid hit, and even held my own.
