Greg66 - it's all in the sig - elegant, Adonis like appearance, seemingly radiating light around him; stylish monotone red or blue clothing - a hunter's eyes allied to a predator's turn of speed and more cunning that a fox who is Professor of cunning at etc.... Often pursued by female cyclists who have sudden trouble staying put on their saddle.

Always have white Spesh Propero lid, and black facemask, and usually orange dhb glasses, a variety of lycra, although mostly red/black. Navy blue Crumpler courier bag.

Greg66 - it's all in the sig - elegant, Bacchus like appearance, radiating light entertainment and musical theatre around him; 1980's monotone red or blue clothing - wang eyes allied to an incubator's turn of speed and more chafing than a bag of steel drill swarf in your chamois creme.... Often pursued by female cyclists who have sudden trouble staying put on their saddle - but no trouble at all in keeping up.
