Jocko, I think I had your race on Saturday, dead last in a handicap race. I was the only starter on 2 minutes and when scratch caught me about 15 minutes in, I could only hang on for about 5 minutes. That made me last on the road from that point
Perhaps the borrowed bike (about 1 size too small, probably 4cm shorter in reach) had something to do with it, but I think I just had a **** day. It felt like I was towing a parachute the whole way round.
This morning's ride felt better. After changing up when I wanted to change down more times than I can count I will probably get the campy gear changing sussed just in time for it to bugger me up going back to Shimano on the new bike
