Famous Cyclists You've Met

[Pickle]

Just wondered who has been met in the cycling world?

I have had the pleasure of meeting:

Chris Boardman - at the Tour de France, top bloke, so friendly, so much time for me. Great chap

Nick Craig - when he rode for DBR, as above, top chap

Dave 'Pee Wee' Hemming and Clive 'Apollo' Gosling - at a training camp, both were a right laugh.

Zak Carr - was a personal friend of mine BITD, RIP mate

I was wondering if I accidentally met 'someone' without knowing who they were when I was at Cannock yesterday when he talked about handing over the baton to Gary Foord at Sleepless in the Saddle last year :?

Wow, thats some list!  :shock: 
Ditto for Mike Burrows, of designing the Lotus bike fame, and when I used to live in Norfolk he was about 10 miles from me and used to ride our club TT's.  He has some AWESOME bikes
