Spotted a PH jersey going through Castleton (where all the gravel was from the surface dressing) as part of the C2C in a day sportive.
Good work that man, it's bloody hilly round there and as I was there supporting a friend of mine, I know how much you'd suffered already!
Cheers,
Tom
That bit was pretty sketchy, would have been either me or TSCFree, he would have been going a bit quicker than me. Great fun but v tiring

I spotted both of you PHers on the Coast to Coast, spoke to TSCFree at a feed station. I wasn't wearing my PH jersey though, it was Ride Across Britain for me.

Nice to speak to you all, was a fantastic day. Castleton was was pretty dodgy with the loose chippings. I'm sure it was a downhill section around there a bloke following me hadn't seen a gravelly corner, luckily I had only just spotted it and grabbed a handful and made it round. He bailed and went straight on! Fortunately the grass bank made for safe stop.

Yes, I'm guessing those chippings only went down the previous afternoon and they could only avoid that short section at the end by the cheeky uphill diversion.

Right ho then, who was that, corner past Wanborough station. I should have yelled some witticism but could only manage an Oi Oi.

Great evening for a ride. Nice to see another shirt....

Is this the first confirmed occasion of two ph shirts meeting... ?

I chatted to a PHer in shirt whilst on the BHF L2B ride.
Not bad considering there were 30,000 cyclists

It was me, just getting back home from a quick circuit through Well and Tilford. Great to see another shirt out there, almost didn't believe it until we had passed!

Well nice to meet you, I was on my commute back from Woking over to Churt.

I am always mentally bracing for the climb up and over the hogs back on that stretch I saw you on.....

Err, no - see the posts immediately above. Three of us met on the C2C-In-A-Day a couple of weeks ago.




OK, I wasn't actually wearing my jersey but I did spot the other two

That was on the oddly named but fantastic to ride "Wonderbra" trail, that runs down off the slopes above Tignes down past Lac du Chevril. Although the weather had been bad on the weekend, pretty much all last week was 30deg sunshine in Les Arcs and the surrounding valleys ;-)

Hi that'll be me then, fresh from an hour of changing my tyres over. I set off about six thirty.

Tried to follow a dodgy looking bloke in PH jersey round swinley forest on Wednesday night, after 3 hours I think I caught up.

Looking moody on the Isle of Wight

I didn't realise we where being photographed otherwise I'd have got the game face on rather than the inane grin :-)

FWIW I made it into the video, albeit very briefly at 2:10

This evening, around 8ish between Wargrave and the Piggott school. You were in a white PH top, I was the large chap on the hard tail with monster truck tyres. You nailed it past me!! Thankfully I regained my mojo passing an old chap on his way to the chippy.

For added PH points we were both passed by a red NSX heading towards Henley.

'twas me - NSX was nice eh!

I did say evening, honest! I always give a nod to everyone on a bike, regardless of type, speed etc!

Also bumped into PolarBen on the way from Hambledon to Henley!

No worries, that's part of my regular evening ride out. Will give team PH a shout next time.

I will look out for you next time and slow down for a bit of a chat, tbh I was running late and at the end of a 60-miler and had a bit of a terse text from hwmbo so had a bit of a wiggle on!
