I'm only half joking.
There's lots of 50s in the year, so you can and SHOULD blow up racing one or more of them. Ignore the meter and smash the fuck out of it. It's not like the 24hr, where you get one shot at it and if you blow up you have a LONG way to go before you can get back into it.
Personally, because I don't care so much about the shorter stuff, I'm generally just trying to beat my PB which means I'm often looking at my speed/time rather than power.

My dad always entered two 50s per season, rode the first one and raced the second one. That was on the basis of having to finish at least one for the club vets BAR, so he played safe and got a time on the board and then tried to improve it. If you're only after a PB and nothing else is contingent on your 50 time, you can attack the first one and use what you learned to do better in the second one.

You're my hero @hippy .
@Sainsburys_Ed it's going to be massively individual. How long can you currently ride at SS?
