Not true. Find a little ridden segment that is short, say a half mile or one kilometer long ... bring up usairnet.com ... find a day with a 15-25 mph tail wind ... then ride that short segment after a warm-up but before you wear yourself out 'cause you just rode 30 miles. "That's" how you get to be a KOM or QOM.
Just don't tell the youngsters, okay. Let me enjoy my little victory. (p.s. watching for a good day to set the bar a little bit higher.)
