    Pablo Bandito

    Bandito West Country Accent Translator and Windyrig Liason Officer

    Man of TV fame (some random holiday program on ITV south), star of 2000-2002 Orange brochures (on a P7 whilst wearing sandals) and the face of Sunworld Cycling (back in the day); this is a face that has been seen in Thomas Cooks up and down the country!

    A lover of fine beer ("Mmmm. Beer. Chamonix's MBC Stout wins it every time!") and a connoisseur of good rum ("...maybe a little Westerhall rum. No sod it, any dark rum if it isn't French! French rum is wrong!!!"). Contrary to Bandito riding etiquette, he gets off "riding my Flow with a 6.0m, much better than flopping around in the water like a Goat boater!!!" That there be fighting talk where I come from, but he claims "I'm just speaking the truth! Well, it's alright surfing sometimes aswell... He he!"

    A veteran of living in some of the best riding spots in the world, he's ridden Bel Lechat (translated as Happy Pussy!) - 1 1/2 hours of downhill singletrack beasting in the Chamonix valley - to finish with a nice pitcher or two of stout at the end of the day on several occasions.

    If you look at the picture you can see that he is also half monkey!
