Nice one Ian :thumbsup:

Yeah, heard he's a bit of a beast...
although, most of us are faster than Pantani these days :laugh:

...sorry, probably a bit sick :shy:

Think I might see @Origamist on a daily basis round Wilmslow...does he look a bit like a tall Marco Pantani + without a helmet??

A tall, Marco Pantani, eh? I'll take that. Shame I can't climb like the late, juiced up, 'Il Pirata'. We do at least have male pattern baldness in common and dubious facial hair...

Shout me next time, as I have no idea who you are or what bike you ride.

I'm determined to spot 400bhp soon too.

Will do, Marco!

You won't spot @400bhp - he only spots others - as he is a stealthy wheel-sucker - aka "the drafting ninja" ^_^

Ianrauk yesterday - caught up with me at the lights at Downham. We quite often see each other, usually going the other way though.

Has he got a blue face in real life?

Someone who looked remarkably like @dellzeqq (yellow top, stomping on a high gear) going round the M25/A3 roundabout at about 8:40 this morning. I was in the car - and he was on the cycle path, so it was probably someone completely different.

My summer-only off-road extensions to my commute often take me on that cycle path round that roundabout, and I'm usually wearing a yellow top. But there are multiple reasons why no-one would mistake me for Dellers. (Panniers. Mudguards. Flat handlebars. Hub gears. Spinning a low gear. And there is no part of my anatomy that conceivably resembles billiard balls ((c) TC).)

If you see a really good looking bloke commuting in Leicester, chances are it's me.

The problem there is, what if people confuse I with you, or you with I!?

Is the world not complicated enough!?!

After I caught the car up that had close passed me with it's horn blaring to remonstrate with the driver through the open window, I noticed the chap inside looked a bit like Gaz although he wasn't wearing a cycling helmet or lycra.

Was that you on the A34 Chris @Hacienda71? I suddenly realised the cyclist looked like you as you / he passed.
I was "towing" a new C2W guy - I'm his C2W "buddy", so showing him the roads / dos / don'ts. The cheeky bugger even tried to drop me on an incline :laugh:

so I got back on the front and made him pay for the next 5 miles until he turned off :boxing:

If it was you, I hope he gave you a cyclist's nod as you passed :thumbsup:

I was going down the bypass at about 4:30 and passed two chaps going towards Monks Heath. Gave a smile and nod. ^_^

You were on the wrong side of the road. :whistle:

Yeah, that was us then :thumbsup:

Normal rules don't apply on cycle paths :whistle:

Not particularly difficult though is it. :whistle:

How did they get on?

Ha ha, very true!
He's doing very well - 25 miles each way. I've got him doing the old driving in / ride home / ride in / drive home lark at the minute. Think he's riding in and home tomorrow for first time!

TheSpence · 1 Aug 2013

I spoke to a friendly chap yesterday, on the Welford Road in Leicester at about half 3pm. Sorry I couldn't chat for too long - I had to rush somewhere!

If you're on here, I hope your 'meet' went well!

@dan_bo spotted passing through Daisy Nook visitors centre car park at about 4pm today. I actually only spotted him when it was too late but I'm certain it was unmistakably him as he disappeared down the path on a pink MTB.

I would have shouted but I was sat on the wall with my mouth stuffed full of mint Cornetto :mrpig:
