    davidtaylforth : Yeah he could very easily make that stuff up on the spot as it’s basic visualisation techniques rule #1, i was taught a very similar method at schoolboy motocross training camps run by Dave Thorpe and Rob Herring 25 years ago (just before i was selected for the 125cc coupe des nations/moto-x des nations team. smoke/up/arse/blow rearrange as necessary) 😉

    I’ve no doubt there are such god-like uber-fit all round sporting hero’s out there and perhaps even a few post on STW but from my limited experience of meeting such sporting gods they have all been very unassuming and prefer to let their riding/fitness/skill do the talking rather than feel the need to gain justification and recognition for their achievements by posting on an insignificant web forum such as this.

    Must be a troll, if so i’m enjoying his posts and can’t wait till he mentions the time that he was shooting the breeze with Tomac back on mammoth mountain and mentioned to tomac “go on…fit a set of drops to it” and helped Tinker increase his fitness levels for multiday enduros….not mention that time he beasted Ned Overend up the Mount Evans hill climb…..he owned Ned that day for sure……..

    I used to work with a guy who pretty much ticks all these boxes
    Ah – you’ve worked with Johnny Two-Sheds as well? If you’ve had a wee on the hard shoulder he’s had a dump in the fast lane. Same bloke?

    We like to call them Eleveneriffes..if you’ve been to Teneriffe, he’s been to Eleveneriffe. 😀

    Lol at Eleveneriffes!

    That’s the guy. He eventually went over the top completely by claiming his grandad invented guy ropes for tents (his surname was Guy).

    The thing with these dropper posts is it makes riders far too lazy, one thing I always do when a client comes to see me is take there seat post out, it’s good practice for them to learn how to use their body more without having to rely on the position of the ‘automatic’ seat post, this is the name I call them while teaching!

    “richmtbguru – Member
    Ive taught mountain biking skills to a high level, Even tuitioned some up and coming pros…but never and I mean never do I think I could do anything for this chap! and Ive never said that to anyone before!

    and so much gold!

    Good thread op! I was thinking the same thing the other day, I myself never thought I was competitive until one of my clients told me how fast I was at descending, I’d never thought much about it before that but it had me thinking that I honestly cannot remember the last time or any time for that matter anybody overtaking me! I just will not let anyone overtake me on the descents, not even a pro on a full on downhill bike! I just will not let it happen! I’m quite confident in my biking skills, having taught people for a good number of years makes me think what I could have achieved if I’d have taken up full on downhill racing as a career. So yes I suppose I am a bit!

    You know the lonely young chap who built himself an online alter ego as richmtbguru has now thrown himself under an erratically driven dusky pink ford Ka whilst wearing all black “ninja” style cycling attire an out of date helmet an absolutely no reflectors on his pedals.

    He is now just another cycling fatality held responsible for his own fate due to his lack of hi viz despite the driver of the car texting her boyfriend 11 times before running him over and reported as shouting “I pay road tax” whilst fleeing the scene in fear of her life.

    All because of a you lot don’t know when to stop.

    I think it’s pretty widely accepted that I’m the best rider on here but I admit I’m a bit worried by you RichmtbG

    Maybe we need to meet up and sort this out once and for all. Anyone know of a sportive coming up sometime soon ?

    This guys cv fits a personal development coach in the north west. His riding achievements fit someone in the south west. The only thing in common is they’re all called Rich something. I had a very slow day at work! I sleuth on the side!!

    I would just like to point out, that whilst the most of you were too busy slagging off my talents, last night I received another two koms, I’m turning all this negative energy into positive, something I was trained to do so in the army. I’m sorry there is so many doubters, but doubt all you want, I’ve been places with my life! 🙂

    Human nature to doubt presented fact with no data to back it up. Otherwise its just claims. I set my own personal goal and achieved it last night just dont feel the need to tell everyone about it.

    …something I was trained to do so in the army…

    I thought the army trained people to become car park attendants.

    Richmtbguru,
    You were funny. Didn’t know when to stop. You’re boring now.
    For that reason I’m out.

    Hmmm, I wasn’t sure, but I’m definitely calling troll. Bit weird though, months of odd comments, barely worth the effort.

    Did you have your Strava profile, so we can admire your awesomeness!?

    Rich after this post I went out and bagged a couple of KOM too. Your really inspiring me ! If only the grannies could get out of the way I’ve have all of them round the local tesco’s car park.

    Is the OP a rally driver and DJ too?

    And a photographer? Richie McCoy was ‘semi pro’ at everything though, Rich is more “casual Olympian”, there’s a subtle distinction.

    Yes, but the name and writing style’s too close to be coincidence?

    All gone quiet here, thought this thread had the potential to run for days!

    Anyone know a certain Richard Kelly? Doesn’t have particularly amazing Strava times though and Surrey, not Oxford

    Nah, it’s not Richie McCoy, he was real, just had a few issues. He also didn’t have delusions of grandeur – he wanted to be the best, whilst this fellow actually is the best!
