now there's a man who could have achieved even greater things if he'd been around now and supported by BC etc
Indeed , Obree was basically sacked by his team because of a refusal to take drugs . Sad that that more or less ended his career back then .
Obree came to my house on one occasion to enter a race l was organising . This was years after his medals and World Record rides . Again we had a chat but l remembered thinking that a guy like him shouldn't have been riding against people like me and a whole bunch of other amatuers . .
Nowadays , he will turn up for the occasional Club run ! The good thing about that is he doesn't try to drop us and is very happy to have a chat and realises his record attempts are now behind him . .
