matter of fact: the IoW Randonnee is not a day to go around the island with your club on your carbon race bike. There are too many nodders/pootlers. I think on the day many others reaslised this and reacted by:
continuing at a subdued but speedy pace, passing riders where possible OR
slowing down and pootling with everyone else in the sun
over the course of the day, with hundreds of slower riders on the road I can envisage a scenario in which some overtaking decisions may be less than ideal or poorly executed.
FastEddy: regardless of Hat's 'cycling credentials' she felt your clubs riding was unsafe and felt strongly enough about this to get in touch. Is the fact she felt unsafe moot if she doesn't ride lots? No.
toot toot: referee whistle.
