Hi all
Went round to my girlfriends parents house yesterday,they were keen cyclists in the 50's and 60's both members of Redhill & Reigate ctc.My eyes popped out when they showed me certificates of 100 miles in 8 hours for for my girlfriends mum and 240 miles in 24 hours for her dad, loads of other Certs like this and they weren't racing just going out on organized tours.They were showing me pictures of cycling to the lake district and overnight to stone heng.when you think of all the fancy bikes we ride now they did all this on what must have been big heavy bikes.
AMAZING!!!!!!
