Today’s post on Medium, “Back of the pack“, is about my twenty years of (on and off) competing in road races. This story is for Medium members only, but non-members get three free stories a month, and my Patreon supporters get access to exclusive links to bypass the paywall.

Reminder to readers: Please follow me on Medium if you aren’t doing so already, thanks!
