When you are waiting at the agreed spot in the morning and he arrives, everyone knows what time it is. This rider has two settings: on and off. And as soon as he is on, it’s full throttle. Easy riding is not an option. And not with hands on the handlebars. He is only satisfied when the whole group is riding in a line. If he comes from the front and the pace threatens to drop, it won’t be long before he moves forward again to correct that. Pacing is not something he can do. And if, due to his efforts at the end, he has to let go during a group acceleration, everyone knows for sure that you’ll get a lesson in ‘cowardice’ during coffee.
