Spot on!
Coming late to this thread, I'm impressed and full of admiration. Good job, Mr. Feline Rodent.
Thorough, clear, supportive and approachable.

I just did a 'soft' tour with 50+ folk who have already done a lot of miles on tough charity rides, and I'm sure that they'd have found it easier to have followed your advice on gearing, fit and cadence. It's tough to give advice without implying criticism, and your approach shows how to do it
Excellent contribution
