Cycling legend Eric Vanderaerden, what a nice guy
I've seen Billy Bland each of the last 2 days at the ToB.

Chatted to an older woman in a wheelchair at a canoe slalom event last weekend. Watched Question of Sport last night and the mystery guest was the same person, Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson. Multi Olympics medalist. Afraid I had never heard of her, very nice lady.
I saw DTGT a few years ago at Amsterdam airport. It was the Friday before the Hobble. No-one seemed to know who she was but I caught her eye and smiled. She went zooming off very quickly a short while afterwards
If you'd gone to the coop it would have been Edwina Curry!

Ya, I saw that when I looked her up on wikipedia. Badly worded what I meant was not a current competitor.
She was in a racing chair, as she had just got back from a session around the regatta lake, and I went up to her to have a chat about it. Then spoke to her again later on in the car park. She has a very fancy van.
She was telling me the wheelchair marathon record is 1:20, could not believe it was that fast.
She is right.
