But remember Steve has been here before, on his AUK record year.
I'd suggest that that's the part of his strategy that could be improved.
This isn't an audax record, and he doesn't need to ride under audax conditions.
Jeez - what the heck has that got to do with my post?
You're saying he's been here before. I'm saying he doesn't have to be here at all, but as far as any of us can tell that's how he chose to approach the record, and isn't set up for a different approach.
Is there some sort of Pavlovian condition on this thread:
Must Post Something Negative About Steve's Strategy - Preferably Something Mentioned Eleventy Times Before.
Well, in the absence of actual information, what else is this thread going to be? And, as far as I can tell, it's what sports fans do when they talk about sport.
I must confess to not having read all 40 pages.
