 I have been a member of the following cycling clubs: CARLTON & ROYSTON, ROYSTON ROAD CLUB: 1961, BARNSLEY ROAD CLUB, BIRDWELL WHEELERS and the DONCASTER WHEELERS: 1975 - 1976. I am currently a member of the BIRDWELL WHEELERS.

PERSONAL BESTS  All these times were achieved before the advantages gained through the use of such technological advances as tri-bars, clipless pedals, disc-wheels and low-profile carbon-fibre frames.

I also rode to most events on the morning (carrying my race wheels seperately on the bike), and rode back home afterwards.

For my best '50' time I rode the 30 miles up to Wetherby for the start, rode the event, and rode home again.
10 miles - 21 mins 47 secs
25 miles - 55 mins 25 secs
50 miles - 1 hr 50 mins 6 secs
100 miles - 4 hrs 0 mins 50 secs
12 hours - 264.66 miles

In 1973 I was placed 6th in the British Best-All-Rounder Competition promoted by the Road Time Trials Council with an average speed of 24.408mph (over 50, 100 and 12 hours cycling).
