That reminds me, on my first 600k there was a well known serial bandit rider on Illinois brevets, who would
intentionally ride with people to cause trouble. He rode with me for a while, and was super chatty. The RBA saw that, and warned me of what was going on. I guess he even tried convincing people to let him sleep on the floor in their hotel room.
Coincidentally or not, my brevet card disappeared at the penultimate control - the last place I saw that guy.
