• I see the Lael controversy raising its head shortly.
    My take on this is that there is a distinct advantage in pairing up for extended periods of time, and by this I mean days at a time. A day or so is neither here nor there in my opinion.
    In relation to Lael- she's so strong and such an accomplished rider then she would have almost certainly have won anyway.
    Steffan is the only person who could complain , he has acted with extraordinary dignity and been very magnanimous, which closes this out.

  • Days? I was talking about minutes riding side by side, not days.

    Riding paired for days is stretching my understanding of the non-paired riding thing.

    If you're pacing someone half a mile back though, tactical.

  • It was common on TABR. People form allegiances, particularly those with no map reading skillz or without GPS! In my mind teaming up means you miss out on the experience. The one thing that really motivated me was to not be beaten by one such unofficial pair on TABR.
