    I agree, staying away is the priority. But if you can shed those sprinting passengers in the meantime, all the better.
    If you can, certainly do so. #1 ignore their plaintive cries to go slower! Beware, they are skilled in the mental side of things and good at following a wheel.

    I went off with the SL group recently. I agree that if the stronger riders organised they would have a real chance of staying away. S/SS can ease up a bit when they get sight of the group in front if there is a good distance to the finish because those who had been working on the front tend to ease up to recover leaving those who had been sitting in to make a decision. On the narrow roads it can be hard to get past if L/SL is across the road and if a group is away and working well it might stay away. If a group had got away last night it would have had a good chance. I'm working against myself here-I'll get me coat.

    Avg speed last night was 42.2kmph which I think is a new high on that course for me. What was it for the SL? or L?

    37.7kph for me in Limit.

    Just to complete the stats, I recorded 40.1kph in semi-limit.

    Also 174bpm, 227W, 94rpm. Fairly sedate as I averaged 176bpm for 1:20 in the Monie Nolan A4 a couple of weeks ago. Not sure evening racing is my bag.

    @Niezchean: I had zero averaging off, have turned it on now. Also, set your Garmin to record data every second.

    Had zero averaging off aswell, just flicked it and recording every second on.
    (anyone know the effect of that second setting on the 705's battery life?)

    Stats Avg 40.3km/hr 183bpm 78.3rpm 246watts

    My fan club! It's amazing how much slower it looks on camera, it certainly didn't feel it.

    Ask Caroline to pronounce "Classement" and we can decide then.
