Malcom Dancy’s books (Or kindle) are interesting. Certainly to a newbie like me.
I am enthusiastic rather than a fast rider, but I am ambitious about doing PBP when my kids are a bit older.

He is a physics teacher and if you meet him, boy can you tell.

Yes. Got the feeling from his books
Audax brings all types into the mix. I would hate to know which pigeon hole I slot into. Gulp.

We have met but did not talk for long as I was mid 200. You had a big "vacuum cleaner" on the cycle track. Maybe Mrs Mop? He he.

Ahh! I remember. I had just started Audax and done a couple of 100s which seemed monumental to me. I remember you said you were doing a DIY 200. That to me, just a couple of years ago, seemed a heroic distance that I surely could never achieve.
You are a mentor of sorts without even knowing it

No flashing, rear LEDs. In sure YouTube shows otherwise.
