Well I may be able to cause some trouble if I don’t get caught asleep at the start of the next stage. I only managed to cause myself trouble on Stage 1. :laugh:
I think all things being equal, of the 5 of us I have the worst start ... if I go out too hard I just blow up, so have to measure the start, just enough to latch on the the group but happy to sit at the back until it settles down. I need to practice my starts if the C is as manic as the B group, else I'll struggle to get into the leaders.

I think the B’s start faster, as we used to start with the A’s in most mixed races. More often than not, I was caught by the top 20 C’s later on, once they had dropped the D’s.

Thank feck for that! I don't feel so guilty now moving back down to C rather than making the numbers up in B. A proper B racer steps in :wahhey:

Well, if not all complete the race, we might need a few extras in B. 😜 1 point is better than 0...

My tactic is always to try and stay with the fastest group I can from the start and generally I get dropped on first decent incline. I don't know if I'm actually being stupid and would I be better just staying with a slower group and then have enough in the tank That I wouldn't be dropped by that group and could actually stay with attacks at the end. Should probably experiment...

...but there are no big hills on stage 2 so I'm gonna do the same as always!
