The key is just to have fun. Watch your front wheel, ride strait, and keep your eyes on the riders in front of you. I like to maintain a position in the first 10-20 riders in the pack; In the front you'll feel less of the yo-yo effect and the constant, yelling of "slowing" that occurs so much in the 4/5's. You'll also be less likely to be involved in a crash. You'll be racing with a few of my team mates.
see you there.
