Mostly family and friends. Only Emma Pooley was work related.

I was staying at the same place one weekend as the guys testing the PRST-1 - before it went into full production about 10 years ago.

EDIT - Oh and I once had lunch with Rebecca Romero - who told me that the Greek writing on the back of her Athens Medal read

" Congratulations on winning your Olympic Silver medal. Better luck next time"

That reminds me. My road is quite bike orientated.

As well as me (holding my own dialled bikes/dialled mike love-in) and Steve Worland's brother (already mentioned) we also have [url= http://www.cyclingwebsite.net/coureurfiche.php?coureurid=40824 ]Alice Monger Godfrey[/url] who lives there with her parents, or does when she's not in Belgium with her pro-roadie team.

Oh, and some other bloke who orders stuff from chain reaction and CRC always quote his address first rather than mine when i order stuff from them.

Mick Hannah and his dad called round the other day. Asked if I wanted to go for a ride.

My brother rides one of Adam Hansen's old bikes.

I have actually handled a S3X hub.

I went into an Evans outlet once.

nobody spoke to me.

You too, huh? Thought that was just me!!!

Worked for nearly a year as workshop manager at DDG/Onza. Everything which came out of there in that period was built by either me, or my whipping boy John.

It's all about the stories though! What's the best one?

Did Dave Bianchi once borrow a track pump?

edit: not meant to sound condescending at all!
