What sort of level should one be riding at before attempting a Bundy run? Have heard that they don't hang around; opposed to me when I don't hang on!

Have an idea of just going anyway, but with the objective of surviving longer each time... even if that means getting dropped at the Avonbridge Hotel!

Any thoughts are welcome.

Best to just give it a go. If you get dropped you make it your aim to hang on longer the following week. It's great training if you're planning on doing RR's. You'll also learn where to sit in the bunch for maximum protection and also where not to sit ie at the back.(I am an expert at the latter, especially coming out of corners)

That's what I need to learn. I have an awful habit of sitting on (or just off) the back... not through choice, it's just that it's about all I can do to keep contact! Get in the hurtbox, I guess.
