Joyce Topping (nee Connolly) 1949 - 1959

[joyceirenetopping]

My name is Joyce Topping. I am 92 years old and was 16 years old when I became a member of Prescot Eagle Road Cycling Club from 1949 until 1959.

I went out every week on rides around the UK and also across Europe through France and to the Italian border on several occasions.

I also was involved with Warrington Cycling Club with my late husband.

Good afternoon @joyceirenetopping and welcome to cycle chat

Joyce, you'll like our friend @Accy cyclist. He tends to dress in a manner you would have found reassuringly old fashioned when you were with the cycling club!

Welcome Joyce.
If you do Facebook have a look at Royal Academy of Octogenarian Cyclists. There are a number of nonagenerians there too.

Welcome Joyce. I was a member of Prescot Eagle between about 1977 and 1983. When you were a member I presume it was Liverpool Eagles or Prescot Cycling Club ?

My father Peter McGuiness was a member, and still is but no longer cycling, from 1977 until now
