Shanghai Crew
Dale House
Team Leader and conversely the team domestique: responsible for team morale except when throwing his bike over the nearest hedge.
Keith House
A well known puncheur: all that training on the Kent Downs and an uncanny ability to find the next watering-hole.
Linford House
Fancies himeself as the team sprinter: well known for just turning up on his bike and going. When seen riding between tours it’s usually in full transvestite fancy dress.
Kraków Crew
Roger Hadfield
The minibus driver for the Calais to Kraków, and return, part of the tour. It’s his first tour and possibly his last because a) either he’ll never be able to face such a shambles again or b) he’ll disappear into the Hindu Kush as he takes the bus to Shanghai.
Dave Austen
The team rouleur : keeps the mood even and generally tries to maintain the train.
Carl Moses
Usually a grimpeur: and pulls the grim face to match.
Cathal Bartolo
A classic baroudeur: always disappearing into the distance.
