As we headed towards the mother-in-law, in Dorset, along the A35, we past a fella in full GB team kit, riding a Principia.

Obviously I don't know if the fella in question was wearing 'his own GB' kit, or just a proud fan.
But if he was just one of us mortals, well done fella cos it suited you well, and you looked very comfy on your steed.

I was the bloke with his nose pressed firmly against the near side window, probably looking a little 'special', as Wifey slowly past ,giving you far to much room, on the road.

    Aint there loads of people who wear GB kit?

    Was near the velodrome a while ago and a guy shot past in GB kit, and if I remember rightly I was doing this 37mile loop and in front was a pack of riders wearing GB kit.

    :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

    The Velodrome is the home of British Cycling - that was probably some of the British Team.

    We often see GB riders going past the Gateway in the morning while we are meeting for club runs.
    I like bikes...

    As RD says :roll: :lol:
    You are right though who'd expect to see a team kitted cyclist riding past a velodrome, where as the A35 at 3pm christmas eve, was rammed with guys on specialist bikes, all in GB kit. :lol:

    This was in August, I was wrong, was not near the velodrome, was on the bit of dual carriageway crossing the entrance to Asda Wallmart.

    The ASDA Walmart is next door to the Velodrome!!!!!

    The week before Christmas I was in Fallowfield having lunch while Katie Colclough and two other ladies rode past, all in GB kit.

    Somebody who works for British Cycling lives a mile away from me, they have a team estate car with all of the sponsorship graphics on it. The guy who works in our local take away thought it was my car and I worked at the velodrome!!!!!!!
