I need to ride more or change my routes! I've never seen anyone famous.
They never flag me down to say hello either 🙁
Eric Pollard in Sowerby bridge. Also rode past Christa Ackroyd in Hebden (although not sure she counts)
Not at all bike related but...I stayed a few nights at a clothing optional beach in Mexico - one of the Spice Girls was also staying there.
Lovely views.
not Sporty Spice then?
erm Jude Law and Josie Dew also. i'm not very observant either.
extra points if the "celeb" is on a bike too?
I was blazing down the Walna Scar Road last year (may have been the year before - memory isn't what it used to be, before it was sanitised anyway - the road not my memory), and pulled up for breather part way down right in the path of (almost hit actually) Steve Coogan on his way up (walking not riding).
I said 'Steve Coogan, well I never expected that' to which he replied 'well I did','good to meet you' I replied and sped off.
I was quite chuffed I didn't say 'ah haaaaaaah' but since I've heard what an arse he can be I sought of wish I had as I sped past him without stopping 😀
Nigel Mansell presented me with my cycling proficiency at school
Then, 2 years later, he came to see me in hospital to give me a bollocking for nearly killing myself in a bike crash
Top man
Riding back from the gym in central Manchester, John Prescott nearly reversed his Jag over me after the Labour conference. Cheers John.
Only biking one I can think of was we almost ran Pete Postlethwaite over in Minton after I'd crashed coming down Minton Batch and broken my collarbone.
I was in the passenger seat of my car which a friend had gone to get while I limped down to the road.
Coming up the road into Minton, Pete and I think daughter were crossing the road, we pulled up sharply and there was his pretty distinctive mug looking back at us. By all accounts was a pretty familiar character in and around Church Stretton.
I let her past...
