Why bother messing around with flats?
What did you think of QECP?

Popped down to Queen Elisabeth Country Park today for day two of "how does anyone ride like this".
For me, and this is of course purely anecdotal, flats make technical sections much harder - I now have to think about my feet, where they are positioned on the pedal, and crucially how to keep them on the pedals when things are bumpy. Counter intuitive to those who use flats happily I am sure, but I've ridden with lipless pedals for 30 years, so there's a lot to unlearn.
