Hey Rob, I'm catching up on your posts and really enjoyed reading this one, especially as we are similar riders. I've never soloed to victory, but my highest finish was 2nd out of a 3-man break, also in a 4/5 30+. I never stand a chance in a bunch sprint either. I like your tactics better (though I've always been caught in my attempts - good timing and a little luck are key). I still had to sprint for my 2nd. :-/

Congrats on Howl at the Moon also. Looks like you've had a great season!
