I see that all the time. At the 24hr Worlds everyone rode off like it was a 100mi. I was last... for about 6 hours.

I suspect that you started your 24 hr at very much the pace that I would set out at for a 10 mile TT though :-)

I have no problem at all with the guys that head out fast on longish audaxes, I think long bike rides like that are a chance to discover something about your ability, but also about your mental state, preparedness etc.

I think that the variety of people and approaches is one of the things that is appealing about Audax. A chap in sandals was at the halfway point ahead of me on the 400

haha not quite 10mi pace.

I shaved so I might have to hand in my sandals. The thing about audax is that anyone in front of you could've just started earlier or taken a shorter/easier route. Basically everyone's a cheat :)
