  • Having spent yesterday morning looking at my speedo reading 45k on the flat I thought 'this is ridiculous, I'd have to do 50k in the wind if i was shelled out the back' (I got shelled with 20k to go so limped home alone) I read this with interest.

    I cannot emphasise enough the benefit of keeping together and the importance of finding a group speed. However if an individual is obviously suffering at what everyone else considers a relaxed pace... what to do?
    Drop them. Drop them hard.

    When they arrive at the cafe at the end of the day, broken and in tears - Jeer at them. Jeer, boo, and throw macchiato.
