Breaking away is easy, staying away is the hard part. I tried it twice, felt easy to get away but I soon realised I wasn't strong enough to stay out by myself. It was fun trying.
Jumping on the back of 2 or 3 others who are breaking away is probably an easier way to go about it. In a nutshell, ride faster than the rest of the pack and try and take them by surprise.

emp it depends on the race situation and on the riders you are in the breakaway with. Anyway, usually making double-line is a good choice (and, most important, it reduces slowing wind effects); but if the escapees have different capabilities, a single-line is preferrable (a stronger rider will pull the breakaway for more TIME, not faster). If you're weak, you just move on the front for 3-4 seconds, like in a double-line situation.
