50/14 Paul Roantree

I've been out of contact for a few weeks and only just seen this....Paul, you're a top man, get yourself well and have a great New Year. All best wishes heading in your direction.

Paul is very alert today, so if anyone wishes to visit please pop in.

Understand that he is v unwell but relatively stable in his current position.

He may well doze for parts of your visit but is bright as a a button when awake.

awesome I'm over today.

Great to hear you're feeling a bit more chipper today, Paul...

Am out of town but sending you ALL lots of kisses, as prescribed, especially you, Paul xxx

I was in with Paul again this afternoon and he was very happy for the company, still mustering the biggest smiles, but he is really quite frail and very tired.
We are all pulling for you Paul.
All my love. Stuart.

Went to see Paul at 2ish - got me out of my flat and a lovely ride from Shepperton along the Thames through Lower Sunbury, Hampton, Twickenham, Richmond and Putney. Felt like Contador onn the way there, felt like a fat bastard with a fence panel strapped to my back on the way home. The delights of Christmas excess...

Paul was charming as ever, asking about my litttle boy and if I'd had a nice Christmas. He may be frail but nothing can dim that smile of his.

Don't know if you're reading these threads Paul. I only met you once - on the ride to Clacton - I was the second oldest rider. So sorry to hear you are so unwell. I wish you all the best and a belated happy christmas.

Well only just seen this thread, heard a week or so ago and it has troubled me, but for some reason could not find the thread. I have only met you a few times, but everytime you have greeted me like a friend and I consider you to be one. You make an impression on everyone you meet, you are a legend among men, I will try to come visit you soon.

Nick

Great to hear you're feeling stronger Paul.
Will come visit on Monday if you're still feeling up for visitors.

peace x

just got back from visiting with multigrooves and can also report that he is in good spirits.
he wants you all to know that he knows what's going on and does check the forum so no funny stuff.
HE'S WATCHING YOU :-)

it was lovely to see you today paul, keep your strength up and keep drinking the soup ;-)

Season's greetings from Texas! As promised we swung by Mellow Johnny's on our way through Austin today. Enough carbon porn and historic TDF bikes to even stretch your generous bike build budgets.

More pics to follow but have a quick look at a couple of low res iPhone pics - a nice Seven carbon bike against a wall of carbon wheels and one of Lance's bikes from the last TDF. Apparently we missed him in the store today by 2 hours. Absolutely gutted.

Stay strong - Chris and Julia

i just smiled to myself thinking about something that happened yesterday and wanted to share it with y'all.
when multigrooves and i(myself me) were sitting with paul yesterday he gave out a little oww the sound you might make if pinched gently and then a big smile came across his face and his eyes lit up so brightly they could iluminate all of chelsea. i got up from my seat to see what was on his computer screen that was warming is heart so much, expecting to see a limited edition boxed campagnolo groupset but it was this picture from the glossy girls on bikes thread.

fasteddy, youwillsoon and unknown cyclist; you helped to make an unwell man a happy man :-)

hope your day is going okay paul.

Paul's phone has died

has anyone got an unlocked spare phone?

battery life is not too important as it can stay plugged in most of the time

also has anyone got a multi plug adapter as he has enough electronics to make Mr Sony jealous

am currently out of London until tomorrow, so if you can help just contact dropout john or object

if someone has the technology to strip numbers off the old phone it would be a huge help

beware phone and sms messages may well have been lost in the last couple of days

Paul. Have a good day free from Dancing James. Must be a pleasant rest ;o)

I have a spare and a charger. On my way down with them today. When will you be around, James?

Nhattatack has got phone and a power strip (multi adaptor for limeys)

James, there's Paul's spare phone in East London.
I could drop it over there tomorrow (monday)

Tim, if poss we will use the one from the witch until you can get pauls to him on monday

cheers
