I have noticed a huge change as well in my 10 year absence from cycling. I was 14 when i rode my first A grade race and I left cycling as a state champion, but when i had my first race earlier this year I couldn't believe the speeds that C grade were doing - just as fast as the A graders when i was racing. I think it has been good for cycling and i have noticed that competitive cyclists now are alot more friendly and encouraging than 10 years ago. The social aspect is much more prevalent and i am feeling encouraged about returning to the sport.
