By sheer stroke of good fortune I decided to wander up to have a look in the new Cyclefit place in the Northern Quarter on Monday after work, thinking about an n+1. Bit puzzled to see nibbles, beer keg and wine bottles laid out. In chatting with one of the physios/bike fitters (Dan – very helpful bloke), turned out that it was the opening event for the shop and none other than the legend that is The Jensie was in to do a chat and signing that evening. Got added to the guest list and had a very enjoyable evening listening to him telling tales of derring-do – very funny (for a German) and refreshingly humble and open.
Then last night found out David Millar’s in town doing a chat and signing at The Dance House on Oxford Road tonight. Ticket purchased for that and now this week has gone from being a boring week on my own to being pretty bl00dy good. Marmite content – I know there are mixed feelings about Millar, but personally, I at least have respect for him and what he’s done, whether it’s a cycnical plot or not, and am looking forward to hearing him in the flesh.
Anybody else made it to either event?
