I've ridden with loads of fast riders. The ones that were the fastest were the smoothest and the ones that thought they were fast and mouthy with it banged it down to the lane first tended not to be as fast as they'd think they are.
Not seen one for ages- Saw a quick lad recently- on shit forks and on a section he'd never done before.
3 seconds isn't an opportunity
Is in my book. 8)
I raced against Joe Murray & Paul Hinton.
I beat Paul because he fell off and broke something (collarbone?).
I was in the wrong category.
JCL - thanks for that. I'm liking their vids.
Did the Prutour Red Ride in 1999 with Stephen Roche (won the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia & World Championships)- top bloke, he found a bunch of keys that I thought I'd lost and took the effort to return them to me 8)
Been lapped numerous times by likes of Terrahawk Twinkly Dave Matt Page Ant White Craig Bowles RIch Rothwell etc etc etc the list goes on 🙂 but have to say Brett Bellchambers was just so impressive at wembo
@ti-pin-manI have fond memories of JMC and Plunkett coming riding with the Uni MTB clubs in Newcastle. Team Hardisty Cycles were warned about those rides...
@esher
Yep, thems rides sure were freakin long hard rides, fab times. Plunkett rode with us out in the North Pennines a bit, also stupidly good a rider, wonder if he still does or if he's tiling bathrooms these days?
We should have a thread ' whose the worse rider you've ridden with 😛
Binners?
Some years back I took a road ride, just myself and a man named John Allis. He was in town and looking for a local riding guide. He was at the time the defending US road champion. Just me and the national champ, out for a ride. I took it easy on him.
Ridden with Ned Overend who has held numerous championships.
I briefly shared the trail with Gary Fisher once. The old git kicked my ass a and left me for dead!
Glynn. He rides with a prosthetic limb because he is an above knee amputee, which means he is only pedalling with one leg. The limb helps him balance and stand on the pedals.
I joined him on the Surrey Hills Ups and downs off road sportive. He pedalled up everything!
Duane Stander (Burry Stander's big brother) is a class bike handler and strong as an ox!
Matty D! Ultra smooth and hit anything on his £200 Saracen.
All are super cool guys who will ride in any conditions.
There's a female ex-WC DH rider in my group of riding buddies and some very fast amateurs. See Cam Cole, Blenki, Leov and a few other big names out on the trails from time to time.
