Ken Hames out on his bike stopped to help one of our group after a tree branch in the eye incident. I realise that he may not actually be that famous to some but he was a jolly nice chap who went out of his way to help. The Beyond Boundaries TV programme he did was pretty inspirational.

She opened my cousins record shop in The Uplands back in the 80s!

That would be the place I bought 'Misplaced Childhood' by Marillion in 1985 or thereabouts. The only album I ever bought there.

Graham Taylor was in front of me last week in the Post Office, (not biking but posting the days orders out so still bike related). Lovely guy, asked him to come back to the Villa to sort the mess out, He said 'you gotta be kidding' which we both laughed at.

I followed the "whistler hardtail" video guy down Dirt Merchant at Whistler a couple of times. Couldn't keep up. I also saw Kelly McGarry there I think.

Not really whilst riding, but got flown back first class on BA after a bike accident in Bolivia, had Sophie Ellis Bexter in the bed/ seat thing next to me and she woke me up as I was snoring badly after a mixture of opiates and red wine! She was actually really nice though but was a bit embarrassing!

**** me that Theroux geezer gets about
I sat next to him and his wife/girlfriend at a table in an Ikea restaurant having a full on bad ass argument about a wardrobe. I sympathised but it was quite embarrassing trying to look like I wasn't listening in.
On a bike Jude Law - but I'd taken him out for a ride so that's doesn't count.
