Famous Cyclists You've Met

Mrs LsD's mum's wedding cake was made and iced by Beryl Burton.

I suppose that'd be the same as VP bringing ye a Black Forest Gattox these days.............Just a wee mental image there to see ye through the night...........

Oh yeah - when I worked at Wheelbase in Cumbria I met Steve Joughin (?sp) - remember "the pocket rocket"? This was in 1995 and by then he was a rep selling cycling kit (forget which brand).

Gary Ford runs my local bike shop - helpful friendly guy.

Also Adrian Timmis once serviced my RC200

Met some of the Raleigh chaps a couple of times. My mum once saw Dave Baker's backside. Made her day if not his! If anyone is likely to meet Steve Potts anytime soon let me know please, I'm not sure the 'contact us' is working. I keep getting mail failed messages.

Also met (briefly) Ned Overend when he launched something in the LBS. A thoroughly nice guy.

I see quite Nick Craig quite a lot ... he lives down the road from me.

My cycling claim to fame was knocking Gary Fisher into some nettles at Mountain Mayhem a few years ago.
