Coz I'm sure he overtook me on Scout Road this morning at about 11.40. I thought he lived in Monaco but he may be over for crimbo.

    If he is not in Monaco surly he went home to Kenya for Christmas, I think wiggo has gone back home to Germany as well. What makes you think it was froome, was he staring at your stem when he passed?

    Probably a lookalike... I had a friend frontman of the "Only Stones", he had all the Jagger moves... :wink:

    Why does a front man for a stone roses tribute band have jagger moves ?

    No chance!

    But there are a LOT of seriously good (compared to us lot) young amateurs around our way.

    The other day I was chuffing up a hill towards my limit, thinking I'm doing really well (and I'm not too bad a climber) and three young lads who were clearly young pros / youth riders just sailed past rapidly, all the time chatting and laughing to each other non stop and not breaking a sweat at all, so relaxed.

    Brings you back to earth with a bump when these guys go past!

    I've seen wiggins out once locally, and several times a year I glimpse Team GB riders and on occasion Sky Riders who I couldn't identify (either that, or people very dedicated to dressing 100% like a Sky rider, right down to the colour matched Pinarello!)

    It's not a bad area to train, but I suspect places in Europe are 100% better, and would only ever choose to train locally when visiting the Velodrome or family / friends nearby.

    If it wasn't Froome then there's a poor bugger riding round Bolton looking like a dogs dinner on a bike

    The best description I heard of Froome's climbing stye (possibly heard it on here - cant recall) was "a granny pushing a trolley whilst holding a phone between her ear and shoulder".

    It perfectly describes his style!!

    You forgot to add "whilst looking at his stem"
