As far as cornering goes, I feel like sometimes I nail it and do a perfect job holding my line and zipping through a corner. Other times, I seem to veer straight off and never fully corner. It's like I have a very shallow apex (the angle of my turn would be like 150 degrees). Not quite sure, I tend to believe I am leaning myself/the bike but I don't actually corner; I just end up going across the yellow line and veering into oncoming traffic.

Carpediem, I read your blog; I've done a few organized road races so I am fairly comfortable riding in the middle of a tight pack. However, you suggest in one of your posts that sitting up is better than braking, etc. I'm a fairly short and thin rider, so I don't catch as much wind at all sitting up, especially if there is someone in front of me catching it all. Would you recommend feathering the brakes in that case?
