For sure. When you come off your bike at 60km/h in a ppa race cause of a bad road surface (bunch of us came down). Have your bike ridden over by a car and narrowly miss your head then come talk again. Keep the gravel section in but why not make sure the roads (the tar section) are not full of potholes etc. I see too many races where crashes could have been avoided (crossing railway lines but only a 2m wide mat going over the line while the group is way wider, and what do you get, a nice crash.
Since commuting to work every day I have gone from 80kg's to 85kg's. I am 2m 02cm. Thin as a stalk. So looking at weight is silly. Go for a ride and see who wins.
I met a hubber who lives in Pinelands. We gunned it to work while we each took turns pace making, he took a day off and rode to Vida E Palmyra Junction for a good cuppa so he did a tad more pulling. Okay, that was random. I sent you a pm. Keen to meet up. I also do Campground road.
