I actually made the monument to Paul who was a friend, fellow father (our kids went to school together), customer (Cadence) and fellow cyclist. I had seen a picture of Paul next to a mountain marker in the Alps which is where the idea came from. I no experience of using fibreglass but gave it a go, in my garage, stinking the whole place in the process! Thankfully, the local landowners gave me permission to place it on Beddlestead, a climb Paul regularly rode. It’s great to see it still standing and I remember Paul every time I ride by. For those of you who never met Paul, he was one of life’s gentlemen. He inspired a whole bunch of people in their careers, on the bike and on the rugby pitch. He is sadly missed but always remembered.
