Thanks

I'd say I am more tactics than training - my training is a little more haphazard than most people's.

However, I think the How-Tos and Tactics are usable, and some of them are a result of things I either posted here or thought about after seeing them here at BF.

How-To:

Tactics:

Neither of those are comprehensive no matter how you look at them but they offer something.

Finally, if you've never been in a bike race, a helmet cam clip is a great way to check out the action first hand. If you're in CT, all the better since you'll probably race one of the races. The clips with the most editorial content (i.e. comments on tactics and such):

2007 Nutmeg State Games (New Britain, CT, Cat 3s):

Race that gets neutralized and has the tightest racing at the end (Bethel, CT, Cat 3-4):
