Spotted...

Guy with a white Pearson frame track standing at the lights on Acton High Street. Chatted for a bit, guy complained he was feeling fat and lazy after being off on a honeymoon. Then proceeded to burn a line down the road spinning like speedy gonzales. Impressed.

Did he have a blue PAC with custom flap embroidery of a bird or similar?

I've raced this guy from Acton to Ealing before. He's quick. In fact, he's probably the quickest rider (apart from me of course :P) I've ever seen on Uxbridge Rd.
