Saw someone near Didsbury in full Columbia kit today. Not sure if they were on a Scott but it looked like Mark Cavendish. :shock: That big big chin looked like his.

Could it have been him?

Also saw some team gb rider absolutely riding away from cars at 60kph going through bramhall/cheadle yesterday at about 6pm and a guy in full cervelo test team kit with team issue bike (looked like a pro) smashed me up a climb last week near the cat and fiddle and I couldnt get back to him!

on a similar note, have you spotted anyone else famous on your local route?

    Saw a guy in GB kit in Suffolk on Saturday, absolutely blasted past me on a red, make unknown, bike. He was going at least 60km/h on the flat

    I saw an HTC clad rider near otley chevin at the weekend - had a scott bike as well to go with, doubt it was a pro though

    Was sat in the cafe with Chris Newton this morning. Not bad! Glad I didn't ride, 24mph average :shock:

    I saw Lenny Henry once - nearly knocked him over as he didn't bother to look before crossing the road.....

    I saw Robbie Williams once. My dad told him to fuck off when he wouldn't sign an autograph for me.

    True story.

    theres a chap who i've seen a few times who rides in what appears to be full cervelo test team kit. Not sure about the bike as I always seem to be going past in the opposite direction and hardly see him.

    Have to say that he certainly shoots up the hills though......if he's not a pro then he's a strong rider anyway!
