Spotted the denim go-getter that is JAMIE just as I arrived in deptford this morning (same place as last time actually) but this time I gave chase, not wanting to just start shouting out names and maybe cause him to lose concentration and go under a bus or anything I was almost on his rear wheel as we enter the surrey quays one way system and I was about to say howdy, he throws a quick lifesaver look, spies what he must have thought was a cheeky drafter and spins away into the distance.
I give chase again, and keep him about 5 or 6 bike lengths ahead all the way until the tower bridge lights kindly hold him up for a precious few seconds and I finally manage to pull alongside and say my hellos.
nice to finally meet you dude and was a nice if not brief chat over london bridge (except for when the red brompton tried to squish your front wheel into the kerb with some awesome no-look manoeuvring).
I will say though I hadn't thought it would have been possible but I'm pretty sure those denim cutoffs were even shorter than last time... haha
