That might be how most people ride it and I guess being in a bunch makes the difference with everyone wanting to shell the weaker riders out as soon as possible as well as hang on to the faster guys.
I'll be a good 45min back from them before I even start plus I won't have the luxury of a support team this time so my stop time will be greater, making it tricky to get in contention with the headbangers at the front - even if I did catch them up, I'd lose them again at the first control.
I'm more interested in testing myself over two days without sleep and seeing what happens. This will give me an idea of whether or not I want to bother with TransAm as a race.
