(Steve Abraham)he was a late start and left his rack on as well since he carried two panniers with camping gear to the start :)[/QUOTE]
Yes, I had noticed that his bike was not set up exactly in the way I would choose for myself for that sort of outing.
The same could be said of George Berwick, the amazing 70 year old doing his fiftyfirst 24 on a bike which most of us wouldn't think was good enough to ride down to the shops. It wasn't so much the distance he covered that was surprising, but the fact that after the finish in the HQ, he seemed completely unaffected by an ordeal that would wreck ordinary people. If I wanted to describe him in one word it would be 'chirpy'.
