I'm going to make a small suggestion and although it might not apply to you someone else might use it for thought...If you don't ride w a group at the moment, it might be a good refresher in terms of drafting/braking etc.

I did an E grade masters crit a few weeks ago & would like to do more. Since i've only been riding w our group for 4 months, i'm still not confident w cornering at 35km/hr and drafting off folks I don't know.

I'll continue riding w our group & do some more track cycling to assist me before i go back to trying crits again.
