I don't like being in the middle. Being at the front feels alot safer (or near the front). Riding alot helps. I started racing last year but gave up as I simpley was not riding enough. The first few this year did not go well because I again was only doing 100miles-150 a week or so mostly in groups. After getting dropped in the CCS road race I decided not to group rides any more and train solo. Within a couple of weeks there was a huge improvement which I noticed in MTB races and in the last road race of this year I finished properly. Training solo not at other peoples pace is key.
I am upping my mileage to around 300miles a week for next year races. I think that will help me get the points I want.
