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

Used to see Axel a few times on the group "Wednesday ride".
I remember his super smooth pedaling style.
A few years I was riding and was passed by a group, caught up with them and one rider with very large thighs turned off in my direction so I rode with him for awhile. It wasn't till we stopped at a light that I glanced at his top tube that had his name "Nelson Vails" on it. He was a very nice guy.
