Well, the best thing I can do to improve my performance right now is to get more weight off the engine. I have gone from 205 to 185 but I need another 10lbs at least. Don't get me wrong in two years I have gone from being able to manage 18mph to routinely riding in the 20s and holding my own with groups in the low 30s in the sprint zones. I am pretty happy about that but I don't have the discipline or wish to get into interval training and pushing as hard as I know I could.
I do my racing vicariously by reading the posts in the racing forum
