Thanks everyone! I guess what I want to be is just fast and able to stomp up hills. I'll work on distance as I go along- just wondering the quickest way to get fast. The road I live on is about 2 miles long with no stops and virtually no traffic. I figure I'll start timing myself on that every couple of weeks to see my progress. As I get stronger I'll find a longer stretch for a time trial... I'll definately go get some books; I never thought of that. My goal for now is to be able to "hang" on 30-40 mile moderate/fast group rides. I guess it will just take time.

I would worry less about getting there ever so quickly because pushing the wrong way and getting injured would rather slow things down
There are lots of threads about getting faster quickly - what worked for me (tho' hills are nonexistent here) were INTERVALS.

Ditto intervals. Though I've found (for me, at my level) that just riding more helps a lot. Of course, I'm starting from a fitness base that suffered due to a bad job, and there's no where to go but up
