So there I was... ripping down the hill towards the coast riding past Elfin Forest on a New Years ride one year

Who do I see in front of me? Axel Merckx when he was still racing!

Since I didn't want to be 'the Cat 4 that took down Axel Merckx and ruined his season' I stayed well behind him.

It's amazing who you see in Sandy Eggo. Triathlon pros, road pros, elite athletes of all manner... Never did see LA or his team when I was there tho
