Forgot to say, actually caught and passed no. 16, my pleasure evaporating quickly when I realised he was probably 20+ years my senior and riding a very retro racer, and then in turn I was very quickly passed myself by no.20 (the eventual quickest guy) who just cleared off.
My point is I realise the placings don't matter, it's all about improving your own times at my level, but it's nice to know I'm not completely embarrassing myself with pitifully slow times.
Edit, and everybody really friendly and approachable, I had a good chat with the quickest guy, who was telling me it's taken 5 years to get to his level and get the kit that he's got, and that he was slower than me when he started! He was also telling me about interval training, which I need to look into as I know nothing about it.
