They probably are a bit quieter, and in my case it wasn’t so much the traffic alone as the combination of bad weather and traffic. When a rider with a strong rear light who passed me became invisible in the spray only 100m in front, combined with HGVs not slowing a jot for the conditions it became pretty scary.
That said I may have been additionally sensitised by the tragedies in IPWR/TABR/TCR and another local fatality. Anyway, I’m going to stick to other stuff until I get my fast course mojo back.

Personally that has increasingly become my feeling. I really didn't enjoy the R100/8 last year so as Tester says I'll be looking at more interesting (hopefully) local courses if I do much testing next year.
