Paul, you're a legend and will be missed, so many good memories,

I feel privileged to have known you and ridden with you.

My thoughts are with all those that are close to him.

The last of my pics from the LFGSS visit. A wonderful memory of a wonderful man.

Such sad news, my thoughts are with everyone that knew and loved Paul. You will be missed.
RIP.

I only ever spent a few days with cycling with Paul, but he had a such a positive influence on everyone he met that i will never forget him.

Rest in peace, you nutter.

Sad news. There are no words.

James, John et al get some rest and keep people close to you.

Rest in Peace Paul.

You will truly be missed. Both as an inspiration in cycling, and for making just about every ride I've been on with you a hell of a lot more fun.

to all who've been by his side day in day out, if there is anything I can do- I see the coffee's covered- give me a call.

Rest in Peace, Dear Paul.
My thoughts are with you and your friends.
Love to DJ and Co for your amazing support.

RIP Paul - you were a true inspiration to all who met you, and to everyone on this forum.

Massive respect and thanks to all those who have been there for Paul over the last weeks.

Ride free in Valhalla my friend.

Paul, I only met you twice but once would of been enough, you were infectious with your love for bikes, rides and all the enjoyment that they bring.
Sorry to hear this news, I cant help thinking 50/14 the John Peel of the cycling scene.

Rest in peace dear friend. You will be missed but never forgoten.

"i wish that i had known in that first minute we met, the unpayable debt that i owed you."

r.i.p. darling. london will never be the same for me.

Not much I can add really, Paul was a great guy and will be sorely missed. James and everyone else who were with him at the end, you are truly good people. Rest in peace Paul.

rest in peace paul. you are an inspiration. thanks for the good times at wests, we will miss you

i'm glad the last moments were peaceful, rest easy paul x

First met him at the first South Beers at The Trinity; riding a pinarello with hed carbon wheels and encouraging anyone who wanted a go to have a spin around the square. Summed him up really; good times, bike pron and a willingness to share them with everyone who crossed his path.
Gutted I never got to see him on that Nag.

RIP Paul.

Paul, or Fiddy as i always knew him was an excellent person.

3 weeks ago he said to me "i'll make it to New Year" and he was almost spot on, he died today December 31st.

When i last saw him on Tuesday the first thing he did was shake my hand, and as he did so he squeezed and pulled until he grimaced, then let out a little laugh as to say "I've still got strength" and i couldn't disagree, he certainly had some beans left in him.

i then poured him some apple juice which he relished by the looks of it, sipping it for a while then downing it in one.

the last thing i said was
" Fiddy you've certainly left your mark here you know, you won't be forgotten "

at that he seemed to brighten up and smile a bit.

Sitting there with him that day i felt so peaceful, i didn't say much, i didn't feel like it and Fiddy seemed all outta words too.

So there you go. Fiddy was a well liked well loved character who showed amazing determination right to the end.

James and Jon and Pigfarmer and Em, i think you've been amazing throughout for Fiddy. I don't think you could have done anything more.

All the best Fiddy I'll be having a drink in your name tonight.
