Hey Fred, I have yet to go over. Actually, you know what really helps with the training? Take long rides. After my trip to Suzhou with Felix I found I was able handle my bike significantly better when I came back. I had a better sense of the capabilities of my bike and its limits. Spent about 12 hours of riding in a 2 day period.

BTW, another good reason to wear full helmet - found a big yellow, gooey spit wad on my helmet. Don't know if it was a taxi driver or bicyclist but it was disgusting.
