If you're racing solo, you can insert solo rider thoughts instead of working for sprinter or whatever. So maybe sitting in that first bit, then sitting in when a few guys pulls, then going after the guy that attacks, then trying to go off the front, then staying top 10 when it comes together, etc.

You can go and do frivolous things if you want. There's no rule against racing stupid. Last night I shelled myself in about 4 laps of racing; I had no excuse except I raced stupid (for the record I attacked at the gun and time trialed until I got caught, then I got dropped). Frivolous. But it was kind of fun.

Stupid doesn't necessarily get results though. Balance what you want to accomplish.
