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

Bikes: S works Tarmac, Felt TK2 track

Despite the naysayers all the little tweaks add up. Once you have done all you can reasonably do to the bike you will notice that your position is a larger percentage
of drag and body position is much more noticeable. You just have a better feel
for what works.

Good question, give it shot and post your results. Make sure you take a picture it may also answer the dork part of the question.

The "4 foot wide Afro" comment actually made this thread worth reading.
