I've never understood those who couldn't, wouldn't, didn't even try to ride light in the saddle and upweight when necessary.
Heavyweights get a bit of a pass but they are the ones that would benefit most from these strategies.
And we can't always be proactive, gonna miss one or misjudge one once in awhile but again, riding light in the saddle can save you from them often.
