    I've seen (and participated in) a few threads recently which have been ribbing the infamous wok-smuggling niche-wh0re we know as SheldonA.

    Just to restore some balance, I thought I'd start this thread to show our appreciation since he's a great bloke IRL and did a brilliant job (with help) at SSEC10 and has taken some great photos of me and my mates at various events and even just on randon Afan trips.

    So, post something nice about him just to give him a warm fuzzy feeling. And maybe some good pics if you've got them.

    Play nice 😉

    Seems like a decent bloke to me. Offered me a beer on MM last year whist I was slogging round on the Singlespeed.

    Never got it, mind.

    someone a lot of people have never heard of
    who undertakes some sort wok related activity no-one understands
    whilst being a spiritual leader of some sort of fringe group

    ?

    aye Jolly nice guy Sheldon is. I Met him through STW (posted something up about riding in the cotswolds 2/3 years whenever i went to see my parents) turns out I kinda knew of him as he went to the same school as me.

    Been on numerous rides with him since.

    Does seem as though everyone knows him.Few cases in point

    Did the welsh c2c with StevetheBarbarian off here, didn't really know the rest of them. Sat in the pub on the 1st night. After a bit of chatting this Guy from derby says. "yea.. i know sheldon, i bought his pompino frame off him"

    Another one was the other week i did a 10mile TT in bristol. The owner of the bike shop also knew him! small world

    Never met him. He's from "up there" isn't he?
    However, I remember a lovely photograph of a spaniel with its ears mimicking the shape of a tree behind them.
    Once of the best 😀 photos ever on here.

    (I hope it was him anyway!)

    He rides an Indy Fab with proper sized wheels, that alone gets my vote

    Spaniel will be climbing the Walls at home probably as I'm trying to leave work now!

    Recovery ok thanks done a couple of short road rides and feel ok, dropped medication down to 22pills a day as from this morning! Still a way to go but on the right road now! Fingers crossed the alps trip in 2 weeks will be ok to ride 🙂

    When I first met Sheldon he taught me everything he knew about mountain biking. Luckily I've learnt a LOT more since then 😉

    Get well soon.
