Same people! I'm one of the smallest guys in my area so I generally have to compete with larger chaps. Par for the course for me! No choice, being only 5ft 6 and 141lbs.
Nearly everyone is taller, heavier than me. For a lot, I can't match their climbing prowess albeit, sure, they are mostly a lot younger too since I'm 53. Yet, I drop most of them on the flat when I attack and they don't get back - sometimes straight off my wheel, no need to sprint. Then there are monsters who can both drop me on the climbs and the flats. In all cases though, I have the faster sprint...it's possible I'm the fastest sprinter in the South of the country for my age and even overall. Bizarrely.
