Yep. Would be great if they could have an extra spot for the best assist

I think Merijn is going who assisted Karel, so it might be that Matt is also invited.

Does anyone have any clever tips for dealing with reading glasses?
I will need them for the map and roadbook - especially in poor light and if I'm getting tired, but have lost two pairs already this year whilst running with them pushed up onto my head when I don't need them...

Running with them on a sports cord?

Or varifocals?

sports cord? do they end up bouncing around like a necklace or is that just to keep them on top of my head?
I can't imagine me being able to run in varifocals, too much concentration required to look through the right bit.

I’ve been wondering if something like this is worth a try
nooz-optics.com
Varifocal contacts are working well enough for me most of the time but wouldn’t cut it for reading fine print when the light is going.

I have had no issues with varifocals. But they were fitted by the absolute best optical technician...my eldest son :)

Orienteering glasses on a cord work for me
