Good question re aims etc:
Did a few races last year and enjoyed them so decided to have a proper crack this year. Done 3 races already this season, def feel stronger than last year thanks to reasonable road riding through summer. However, the fields have become much larger – almost 190 a couple weeks ago so my results look worse: 122, 112 and 133 so far 🙁
I’m riding single speed so always going to be a challenge but want to get into top 100 over next few races and a top half finish before end of the season. Possibly bit optimistic but I think I can do it with the right course (last weekend every place I made on the climbs was cancelled out by the long flat straights on the back half of the course)
Like everyone else I haven’t got a great deal of free time but only race on the Saturday. I wouldn’t say I’m skilled but judging by races I’ve done I can make up time on the ‘technical’ sections.
