I think it was an offer from Cycling Weekly in the early 50's.
My dad recorded all his times from 1938 thru to 1954 when he stopped racing and than I used it to record my times from 1967 thru to 1970 when I ran out of space and now it's all in a big spread sheet. Some 500 rides.
Been racing (TT's) from 1967 thru to this year. Had a few years when children were being born etc, but I think I've hit the start line on about 35 of those years. Nowadays, I just ride our club's evening 10 series, so about 15 rides each year.That's a lot of rides! But I suppose it covers a lot of years too... mine is a very small list compared to that.
