Paul Smith OBE

Not the Paul Smith of Rapha but my paraplegic friend from Cosham who over the years has raised over £1,200,000 for various charities. I have acted as an outrider on many of his challenges in both wheelchair and recumbent.
He was awarded his OBE at Windsor Castle on Wednesday 13th April along with Sue Barker and others presented by the Queen.
Some photo's after the event outside Windsor Castle and his Hotel. On the way back I bumped into the B group at Egham.

Well done Mike - you look very smart in your best Sou'wester kit.

The other Paul Smith - whose name appears on my Rapha jersey, is a little known fashion designer and aspiring pro cyclist before a bad crash cut short his ambitions. (see attached early life). Apparently still a very active cyclist.
