    Cycling along in the opposite direction on the new cycle highway on the Embankment this morning – BoJo.

    Was tempted to shout “I’m In” but he looked like he was having enough trouble just getting his machine to keep moving forward and stay upright…

    “I’m In

    He would have been ‘in’ if I’d have cycled along the embankment this morning. In the **** Thames. He’s a dangerous lunatic with delusions of competence and intelligence.

    Really really really poor effort but I had a chat and a drink with one of the women from the house wives of Cheshire…
    The red head one to be exact…
    I’m sorry…

    I gave Douglas carswell a lift from Norwich to Ipswich today. Nice bloke actually. Didn’t change my mind though. Not sure if he counts as a celebrity!

    Walked into Sean Bean as he was passing when I was leaving my office. He was carrying shopping from the newsagents. Highlight of my week.

    Grayson Perry mountain biking in Epping Forest last weekend.
    He summed up why I ride in the forest very eloquently. Nice gent.

    Cycling along in the opposite direction on the new cycle highway on the Embankment this morning – BoJo.

    He used to cycle passed the CycleSurgery on Procter St in London every day on his way to Parliament and used to get a decent amount of abuse from the guys upstairs.

    I had my photo taken with Ainsley Harriot in Chester Waitrose recently.

    Duncan Bannatyne at the Opera in Palazzo, Venice, mid-March. I only realised it was him when I came back and a colleague asked if I’d seen him as there was a story in the Mail about him being in Venice.

    It’s quite a small event, only about 50 people there.

    But what if I am North of the border?

    We were riding the the same trails in Portugal (Lousa) as

    Rachel Atherton
    Dan Atherton
    Gee Atherton
    Steve Peat
    Rat Boy
    Manon Carpenter
    And a few others, saw them all. Photo taken with Rachel

    As we were riding the same trails, and we weren’t overtaken or forced to get out the way, I conclude that we must have been going just as fast…

    Last Friday early evening, I met Dr Alice Roberts cycling through Ashton Court. Had a quick chat about being on the tele and Tom Kerridge. She was absolutely lovely.

    John Torode off Masterchef, and perhaps more interestingly for you pervs on here, his new(ish) girlfriend, Lisa Faulkner.

    They were / are both very nice, imho, and Lisa baked us a nice cake.

    Saw Steve Backshaw the other day in the services and Tanni Grey Thompson outside Westminster – we went to the same school and I would have said hi but she whizzed past on her phone and I was 2 pints into it so wouldn’t have come across well I think 😉

    Jonathan Davies (Jiffy, not the younger one) came into our local pub the other week.

    A few years ago passed Geri Haliwell on the way to the pub, she was out for a jog but was clearly walking till she spotted us strolling towards her when she started running again.

    Oh and Marco Fontana parked next to me last w/e at Dalby (nowhere near a pub)

    I met Tanni Grey-Thompson a few weeks ago. Shook her hand and explained some of my research to her. She was nice.

    I was lucky enough to see Charlie the bikemonger in Kobarid this afternoon. I brushed his elbow with mine. I’ll never wash it again today.

    The duke of Edinburgh drove through our log yard a couple of months ago. He was on his own in a pretty ordinary (for a monarchs hubby) truck and he slowed down and waved. No bodyguards or anyone with him, he came back through a few hrs later. Quite surreal really. When I say drove through the yard I mean between the log stack and our processor…

    Ah cool, I was wondering if he still rode much. Perked me right up reading that article.

    Dave Myres (& his wife)

    And Orlando Bloom (and four of his very noisy mates, then a crowd of trashy looking Women on the prowl)

    I too bumped into Grayson Perry a couple of weeks ago in a Costa queue in Angel. He had his lid on so assume he was cycling to his studio.

    Craig Charles is DJing a funk n soul night at my local village festival this weekend, so hoping to get him to tell me to smeg off

    she whizzed past on her phone

    Modern technology is amazing – she used to have to use a wheelchair.
