Well while trying to get to sleep I “remembered” that my clutch lever was starting to feel a little off, much like they seem to do prior to cable failure. So I’ll be getting a slightly later start since I’d rather replace it in the parking lot vs. on the road where I would loose time/points.
I also forgot to mention I’m trying a suggestion to use cycling shorts. The jury is still out on that technique but they do slow down the pit stops slightly.
Those cycling shorts HAVE to make you faster for pit stops because that’s all they use in the Giro & Tour de France! I know you’ve seen them by the side of the road, quick stop, out, in,
& gone! Easy-peasy as they say.
