[quote]wal, palace is probably the hardest place to start racing, even in the 3/4s!
it would be much easier doing it in a 4th only race at hillingdon. bit of winter series perhaps
Problem is, I simply can't make it over to Hillingdon mid week. Even getting to Palace is going to take some advanced planning.
In principle I should be able to hang on to the 3/4s. I did several CRs with the training group in the summer, and last year I did a 23.08 on one of the 10 mile tts at Holmwood...on an ordinary road bike, riding in the drops i.e. sans aero bars.
I just need to learn race craft - I'll be seeking advice from the regular Palace racers on that...
I know others have started their racing at Palace and got along fine, so I'm sure I can do it!
