mkm531: Forgot to say, sorry to hear about your illness and good luck with the recovery.

Thanks for that Eddie.
I still think under 10's or 8's shouldn't be 'taught' to ride whilst knocking elbows. I feel this is something which should be borne of experience. Some (as riders get older); love the 'butt & bang' of a full out final sprint in a group, for others tho, it scares 'em to death. My own view is that it's a kind of natural cycling selection. You find what you're good at. In my experience, those who don't like the cut and thrust of the peleton make very good time trialists! (Beside the obvious exceptions to the rule!).
