Riding out in the country and in the mountains I can see track experience helping a great deal more.

I have a friend of mine who lives upstate and has good roads right in his backyard. Up there I can barely keep up with him, bu the knows the roads and is a skilled rider. We came down to NYC for a bike night and it was like night and day in dealing with traffic and weaving through stuff. Every few lights we had to wait till he caught up to us.
