When I lived in London, my road bike was used purely for commuting and getting to HHV.
Now that I'm back home, a lot of track riders recommend road racing as training for endurance events. I had a reasonable enough season (8th in the national scratch race in August), having done only 3 road races very early in the road season.
What are your thoughts? Do most people that race track endurance events supplement their training with a bit of road racing? Would I be at any disadvantage if I didn't road race?
