40 years ago today

I won a national championship

It says at the top that you came fifth.





Only joking Well done and I can honestly say that that is something that I will now never achieve. Good for you

40 years ago today i was 18years old and just starting out on the path of adult life, oh to have the chance to start over again and know what I know now, Life would be so different...............................but would it be any better?

I did the George Herbert Stancer 10 .... Wetherby course on the A1 iirc. All the paperwork was for my school and not for the club I rode for.

Or maybe it was 1975...

1975 was on the A1 in Cambridgeshire (F1) - I came 13th

Well done .... 40 years belated congratulations!

 

[midlife]

Blimey......you did it more than once

I wonder what year it was held at Wetherby? , All the stuff from that era is in a box in the garage, even my old training diaries

I'm sure I did it on my Woodrup and not my Jackson (avatar pic) which came later.

I was 4.
Congratulations.
I'm assuming your name is in the block capitals on the left; what then is the significance of "Graham Balfour" etc?

Should be the school of OP. The Sir Graham Balfour School I presume The GHS 10 was raced under our school name and not the name of our club. Mind you it was 40 years ago so I could be completely wrong LOL

And I'd read all the Mister Men books!
Smaller accomplishments are good too.

You're dead right.

 

[GilesM]

Belated congratulations, very impressive time, a lot faster than my first GHS, which I think was 1978.

Ah I see. When I saw it I thought that Sir Henry Floyd character who came second sounded a bit posh. I was imagining Lord Snooty on a really fancy bike.

Congratulations anyway


40 years ago ... I don't think I did anything interesting. I was taking my first steps in building bikes from bits from junkyards.

Just when I was feeling old and decrepit this makes me feel younger; at 11months I might have been crawling then only but I certainly wouldn't have been cycling
