Yessir. That's why I went there...needed to find the best UCI legal position before Nats. Of course then they were waving through people with seats 5cm in front of their flipping handlebars.

I compromise by glancing up the road every 4-5 seconds. Otherwise I can turtle pretty well if I need to look ahead. Testing on the road is a pain though.

Decided my focus for the year will be the 2k. Spent a bunch of hours today working on a spreadsheet that pretty much says if I do it all correctly, I could produce a really good ride.
