Before the adventure begins, a brief intro into the other half of the Blazing Pedalists...
Second up: Humphrey
Full name: Humphrey Somerset Pheasant Butler
Nickname: Cheeks, Humph, Humpo
Lookalikes: A slim Dara O'Briain with hair (tenuous I know)... a slight resemblance to a bearded Ewan MacGreggor
Age: 37, looks.. 43
Strengths: analytic capability, photographic excellence, apparently an RYE Level 2 sailor, when he cooks his trademark lamb roast feeds an army
Development areas: slightly patchy beard growth; needs to fully embrace wearing lycra; very eclectic music taste, spoon playing ability
Tour role: sat nav, purveyor of witty one liners, director of commuications, chief tent constructor, French translator, moral support, sense checker, pace checker and Michelin-starred head chef
Random song: anything by Dolly Parton
Favourite saying: a plethora of French sayings which no one really gets. "Mon petit pois" has been heard being bellowed at unsuspecting women in bars on several occasions
High point: buying a superb stallion of a car, George Le Peugeot for his world tour of the UK, and on-selling her for what he paid for it. 8000 miles covered and the 15 year old George didn't let him down once. Apart from the leaking sunroof, a drivers window that didn't wind down, a horn that was taken from a kid's scooter and a top speed of 64.3mph with a tailwind.
Low point: not taking his pink lycra top on a cycling tour
