Like everyone in the UK, Saddles is currently gripped in Olympic euphoria — so much so that he had to escape to the far reaches of Cornwall in the south-west of England last weekend for fear of suffocation by London 2012 smug satisfaction.But down in wet and dreary Cornwall, in a quaint pub in the picture postcard coastal village of Port Isaac, Saddles overheard even the cider-guzzling locals marvel about "that cyclist called Wiggo — you know, the one with the sideburns".
Making it big in Cornwall is a fair indication of just how well things are going for Bradley Wiggins, who added an Olympic time trial gold to his Tour de France yellow jersey and in doing so became Great Britain's most decorated Olympian in history with seven medals.Following his emphatic victory over silver German Tony Martin and bronze compatriot Chris Froome, Wiggins even made sitting crossed-legged on one of Posh and Becks's old wedding thrones outside Hampton Court Palace (Frederic Marques, impatient d'etre dans le bain) actually look cool.
Later that evening Wiggins put in an appearance on the balcony of the BBC studio in the Olympic Park while Saddles was lapping up atmosphere with friends. Strolling towards the top end of the park following a jaunt up the Orbit sculpture, Saddles and his companions noticed a gathering in front of the shipping crates that double up as the BBC base for London 2012 — and the thin-armed, nasally-spectacular silhouette of the man being interviewed was easily identifiable as belonging to Wiggo (a man with more obvious sideburns than a regularly crashing track cyclist).
