Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Whoa... ex-pro? 6 hours at 30+ is Paris-Roubaix with a tailwind territory. A typical road race for me in moderately hilly terrain is 2 hours at ~24-25.

Anyway, I do think I'll end up trying a TT at some point so with borrowed helmet and shoe covers/skinsuit plus a pair of clip ons I should be good. Gotta practice in that position first though.
