Don't forget also:

Rider F, as per rider E, but contests the sprint, sends some other poor sap to casualty, and the bike shop, eventually, see hillingdon thread.   |

Questions to ask yourself;
Why did you chase down the breaks?
Why did you ride on the front in the last lap? |
Because it was his first race? |
Plus, in all honesty, I got a bit bored sitting in the bunch! |

just a different script
and update your blog you mentalist! |
Answers being;
1: I am 
2: I am
3: Give me some inspiration and I will
But to the new guy who this thread is about, think about why you do things more as it sounds like you were strong enough to get amongst it, so a result shouldn't be far away.

If that's not a good enough reason to have a dig in a 3/4 race I don't know what is. |

Rider A is so powerful and has such endurance that he can ride alone faster than any of the others, who will be
unable to stay with him, and he will therefore win alone and unaided.
Rider B has so fast a sprint that no-one can beat him, and he persuades the others (by whatever means) to carry him
in shelter to the finish, where he is unbeatable.
Rider C is such a dominant climber that if there’s any kind of a hill on the course he will drop the others and win
alone.
ummm...which type of rider are you? |
I'm Rider X.
No power, can't sprint, can't climb.

Why do some people hit the 'climb' at Mallory and deem it appropriate to go from a quick pace to basically walking speed?! It wasn't even a hill!
More to the point, as a result of the sudden drop in pace, why the hell can't people ride in a bunch without crossing wheels and causing a crash right in front of me?!
I think riding in every break might actually be a good idea next time....!  |

Agree, get to the front and forget about all that stuff. |
