Lionel Bobb is still racing. He is calculating carefully the effort that he can make to ensure he completes the race. He is not risking a scratch. In so doing he will end up with a better result than all of those valiant folk who raced fast but were forced to scratch. Tortoise and hare.
Neil Matthews is a conundrum. We don’t know why he is going so slowly. He has done LEJOG in four days and so can race at speed. He seems determined to complete the full course but is doing so very slowly. No indication of issues but there might be some. Somehow he can take six weeks off work and pay for hotels every night and so he might be racing around a job. If he is, he isn’t touring. Worried about access to Wi-fi later on the route though.
