James, for Tokyo~Itoigawa, 3 pockets just isn't enough is it!? I did a count and I reckon I ate 14 bananas that day! Haven't touched one since!

Glad you're enjoying it. I remember that epiphany well. Then I realized that if I duck my head down, pull my knees in and grab the drops, it goes even faster.Honestly, the first time I got 'up to speed' (if that is what you call it), it was a revelation. [Neither] Off-road MTB nor BMX can come anywhere near the pure speed thrills of a road bike.
You are going to have to teach me how to use the drops, mate, as I still pretty much find it weird.
I can go much faster with my hands on top of the brakes.
Holding the bars in the drops seems weird and slows me down, like I can't put the power down.
In fact! This is an open message to all you experts. If you can give me any advice about how to ride in the drops, please tell me!
Oooh - I was thinking... Tense stomach. Lift knees. (I imagine lifting my knees when I ride, rather than pushing my feet down.)You want to help me out, or are you going to send me to a pro?
