well the reason i asked about jumping out of saddle to sprint was that the aerodynamic loss might negate any additional wattage i put to the pavement. I guess since i wont have a lead out to break wind, a sprint wouldnt be too useful if i have anything left. I am hoping to get a good practice run in late tonight or tomorrow night when the street shouldnt have much traffic.

thanks for the paint tip, i hadnt thought about that.


There are still plenty of spots in the race, if anyone is looking for a big purse and a lot of fun + a bike rally before the crit thats supposed to draw more than 1000 riders.
