Not really a gig, but it doesn't really belong anywhere else.
Hoppo, in a QandA organised by DarloCC. What a guy! Reading out his palmares could've filled more than an hour, so the host just skated over the surface really. He is not as other men. (Except Teethgrinder, he's a bit like Teethgrinder). He just doesn't listen to pain, not even when it's the pain of a broken hip, or a broken wrist. I ended up in awe of his time management skills as much as anything else! Fitting in a paid job, a gazillion ultra distance events every year, being a triathlete sometimes, having a partner, being a dad ... I mean, how?
PBP is on his bucket list (so he'll have to qualify for that this year), and I really really liked him for that. And he gave some hints about his strategies as Steve Abraham's team leader, but they need to stay in the Dolphin Centre.
In twelve days he'll be riding the Sebring in Florida (which he mentioned, ooh, once or twice) and I might have to do some internet wrangling to find out if I can follow that.
Rode there on m'bike. It was well worth £2.50.
And what a self-effacing chap he is.
