home turf and 27 years of using this road,
That's the key, isn't it? Loads of people can pass me on roads I don't know, cos I'm not willing to risk the "what's around the next corner" scenario. But if I know the road well, I know I can be pretty quick. Trouble is, since moving here to Oxfordshire, my rides have been taking me all over the place, so I haven't really been doing any routes regularly enough to learn them that well.
But you have to be careful not to get over confident like I did, too easy to treat your favourite road as your own private race track - even the most familiar road can produce a surprise once in a while.
