To add to that Lael is a beast, if she can ride Tour Divide twice, Baja Divide twice, Ankorage to Banff, and a heap of other miles, she doesn't need to pair with him. Maybe they just enjoy riding together. I know I was glad of company a lot of the time on TD, at other times we all spread out and rode alone for hours, sometimes days. Whatever.
This isn't professional cycling where everyones a cunt and trying to get one up on each other with drugs, aero shit etc etc, Lael rides in normal shorts and a cotton shirt FFS. People are out firstly to challenge themselves, secondly, other people. Nothing is really official, carry on bitching about them riding together by all means, but no-one gives a shit.
