It’s a long shot but does anyone remember the scouse MTB pro from the mid 90s ? Fairly certain he raced for Proflex around the same time as Caroline Alexander was racing for Klein (with a Girvin fork up front) possibly raced at the commonwealth games at Rivington Pike, I’ve a vague memory of reading about his training plan which mostly involved sitting on a turbo trainer for six hours at a time staring at the wall !
its been bugging me and my mate Andy (who some might remember from Neil Walton Cycles) for ages, one of those daft ‘do you remember him/her/that/ those) things that we spend our riding time together discussing 😊
Was it Matt Guy?
I think you’re right Mick, for some reason I had it in mind he was related to Joey McLoughlin the pro road racer
and Googling Matt Guy took me straight to a post from Nick W from here 11 years ago :/
We didn't really know him - just remember as a bit of a character from when Alison raced elite. Think he raced for Ribble before Proflex.
One of the night rides goes through Ribchester - always reminds me of Nick's last ride out.
I only remember Jez Avery as the main pro flex guy, but I don’t think he raced, just hooked about on one wheel. Did Henrik Djernis ride pro flex too about the same time. Definitely not scouse though.
Jez Avery appears to still be doing his thing. Wonder if he ever saved up enough to be able to afford that missing front wheel in the end.
Is this who you were thinking of (3rd place guy)?
Yep, that’s the fella
