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.

Last time I was in those conditions I'd ridden 4hrs to the race only for it to be cancelled because the spray was bad for visibility. I wonder who decides the spray cancellation thresholds.
I understand what you mean when there's been a recent cycling death and how it can knock you. I was in two of those races and knew Mike :(

Wales? I thought Welsh courses were quite quiet compared to southern courses.
