I met him once at a trade show in the 80s and he was trying to find a sales group to help him market cycling clothes. He was the nicest guy-hard to imagine he had the anger to turn the pedals so swiftly. Add to this-well you know how the English like to give names to their residences??? His address was Hugh Porter, Rivendell, followed by street names and towns, etcetera.
