So Herbie... I think I like racing with the old fast guys more than the youngsters.
Yeah, it's generally better. I think my odds of a good result are better in a 3 or a 3/4 race, but I'm having a hellava good time. Having my Garmin fall off 15 or so minutes into the RR of a stage race Saturday was not a highlight. I stopped and grabbed it almost without stopping, but could not get back on. Fail/those guys were hammering.
They do have a 3/4 35+ field here that's pretty nice, but I've been mostly doing 45+ open.
