[MENTION=140600]LAJ[/MENTION] Glad to see you recovering and you are riding. I do not do mass start racing even though I am good at crits and enjoy the events. There are too many variables beyond my control that makes the risk to reward too great. I focus on the track racing and only do timed events when I am on the track by myself or team events such as team sprint and team pursuit. I also do hill climbs and an occasional road time trial.

Good luck with your distance riding.
