I understand what you mean by less choppy and easier, remembering when they threw me into C for my first race... it was a much more consistent pace than D (although quicker, we usually ave 33ish and C ave 35ish).
One of the other blokes went up a week or so ago and reckoned that C was much smoother to race in.
I know their sprint speeds are around 56km/h, but with a faster moving bunch/leadout, I might get close. (53.5 is my quickest to date)
Doing my intervals twice a week at the moment. Sprints on Tues and hills on Thurs
