An accurate restatement of what I intended (as opposed to what you chose to hear) would be "My
#1 skill shortage is SIMPLY paceline riding". Or if you don't like that (because you choose to imply that I think paceline riding is simple), the "My
#1 skill shortage is paceline riding". I was passing absolutely no judgment on its importance (one way or the other) except to observe that I don't have it, I ranked it first in the ordered list of deficiencies, and I am willing to consider rollers in order to improve it.
