[quote="Keith"]If Holmwood feels like a breeze, you're really not trying hard enough.
IMO don't let people scare you off lumpy courses. Ride at the maximum level you can sustain for the duration of the course, whether it's flat, windy, or hilly. (Yes, I appreciate there's pacing strategies, but that's fine tuning.)
Quite right Keith. It doesn't matter what the course pacing comes with experience of racing and the courses you race. Only one way to get that and it ain't thinking about it.
