It's a 100' RR - 3 laps around a 13 mile rectangular loop of country roads. My 45/4's field will be large, with 60 or more riders, and the course is on a 2-lane highway with no shoulders and a strongly enforced yellow-line rule. Which means that moving around in the pack will be difficult for as long as the pack stays together, which will likely be the whole race.

Last year the pack stayed together until the final sprint. Comments were, "the easiest race ever".

I'd be happy to work in a break, but these rarely work in our field. I've tried to initiate before, but I've yet to learn how to get any accomplices.

At least I can sprint.
