I was talking to my father yesturday about his days cycling in his youth (he's now 79) but he told me his uncle was a champion cyclist winning a medal in the 1920's for 100 miles cycled between Liverpool to Blackpool and back.
I could not believe the time he reckoned it took him so I googled it finding in 2005 a guy did it in 4 hours 11 mins far longer than my great uncle is supposed to have done it in so my father's memory is obviously failing him here.
I'm intriged now to find out more though, I've googled and tried wikipedia and I keep getting more about motor bikes!!! Any suggestions
