Suffolk Roads in the Sixties

Our family lived in Suffolk 1958 to 1962 and these are my memories of the Suffolk Roads Cycling Club and the start of my racing career. Happy days and good memories Continue reading Suffolk Roads in the Sixties

The Western Isles

It was a trip that didn’t disappoint despite the northerly wind which resulted in a head wind most of the way. I am grateful for Justin’s hospitality at Tolsta and  I am still in touch with him, 18 years after this journey and not far of 40 years since, as a teenager he was part of a school expedition I led to the French Alps. Continue reading The Western Isles

Those Were the Days

My family first moved to Horley, Surrey in 1964. At the time, I was a cocky 19 years old with some good results as a junior, including a couple of wins. I had been racing regularly since the age of fourteen for the Suffolk Roads CC and then the Goodmayes Wheelers, so on moving to Horley I looked for a new club. Continue reading Those Were the Days

My return to racing after 25 years

Looking back from 2020, I used better training techniques but I was also very busy: We had two children to look after, I had a full time job, and with Kathryn we were running both bed & breakfast and setting up an independent hostel. Life was busy and it was hard to find training time. Continue reading My return to racing after 25 years

Graham Weigh Cycle Renovation

My dad purchased his Graham Weigh frame around 1990, made up a bike, and raced on it until 1992 when, at the age of 79, he died in a cycling accident. I inherited the bike together with a lifetimes worth of his cycling bits to add to my own lifetime pile. Continue reading Graham Weigh Cycle Renovation

Porto Cristo – Mallorca

We watched the sun rise over the cliffs, directly opposite our balcony, on the far side of the harbour.  This was at 7.15am after which we slipped into our normal holiday relaxed mode, so it was 12.15 before we got going (I’m being too hard on us as this time did include a café con leche at the local). Continue reading Porto Cristo – Mallorca
