We’ve been busy at the track this year with coaching sessions well attended.

    Racing in the 1940'S and 1950'S

    Racing in the 1940's and 1950's By Barrington Day As the title suggests this is about racing in the 1940's and 1950's, in fact we go back into history. It all started in the 1800’s, but it was in 1941 when a gentleman called Percy Stallard wanted to start Continental Road Racing on the open roads in this country, seems he was up against the proverbial Brick Wall. Percy Thornley Stallard (19 July 1909 – 11 August 2001) was an English racing cyclist, who reintroduced massed-start road racing on British roads in the 1940s. It was banned in the late 1800's by the NCU. Born in Wolverhampton, at his father's bicycle shop in Broad Street, Stallard became a member of the Wolverhampton Wheelers and was a keen competitor in cycle races, competing for Great Britain in international races during the 1930s, including three consecutive world championships (1933–1935). He was also a successful cycling coach and team Manager. Cycling was run by the NCU (National Cyclists Union), (see badge) They were totally against any Road Racing on the open roads. In fact it was on the 24th July 1894 when it finally came to a head. A 50mile Road Race was being held on The Great North Road, 50 starters plus any number of pacers that each rider could cajole into acting for them. F.T. Bidlake was going flat out, being paced by J.W.Stocks who was really winding it up, Arthur Ilsey the other pacer was just hanging on. When near the 57th milestone a horse and carriage idly approached, the lady driver panicked, swerved across the road, the three cyclists all crashed, their bikes ruined.

    The Season Opens with Two Close Fought Races the Yeovil Cycling Club May 2008

    THE Yeovil Cycling Club May 2008 The season opens with two close fought races The Ham Hill and Pittards Road Races are the first major races of the season for a lot of riders. Both races were well subscribed with 80 riders contesting the shorter Pittards Road Race and 55 starting the Ham Hill. Both events went round the 15 mile circuit at a particularly quick pace this year. Leaving quite a number of riders falling off the back in the early laps. The Pittards averaged 24.8 mph whilst the higher category riders clocked an average of 26.2mph. The whole event was extremely well organised, as usual our thanks go to Shaun and his team of helpers. The five motorcycle marshals from the Welsh National Escort Group did a fantastic job controlling both the race and the traffic. Since we have started to use them for the road races we have had far less problems and drivers take the event far more seriously when they see 'official' escort riders. Both events saw a lot of attacking and strong riding, not only on the grinding drag up Coppits hill into Yeovil (pictured right) but all round the course. There were a couple of problems, one which resulted in a trip to Yeovil hospital for Tom Southam, but Hold the front page!! no serious damage. The other was when a After months of speculation and horse, complete with rider, was spooked by numerous rumours it has finally the bunch, fortunately again there were no happened.

  • Peter Baird 1938-2015

    Hours of leisure Miles of pleasure NEWSLETTER G Peter Baird 1938 -2015 R A Regrettably yet another of our longstanding members from its zenith in the 60s has passed away. Peter collapsed at home, then died shortly afterwards in hospital. I V hope what follows is a fitting tribute and appreciation for all the efforts Peter put in E over the years. S E N D C Y C L I N G Peter joined in late 1962, aged 24, from the Mephisto club, so must already have had a good cycling pedigree. He came to Gravesend to help Roger Wilkings and Gravesend target the National BBAR team award. His active cycling racing ‘ career’ with us seems to have been short, possibly ending in 1967 or 1968; his heyday the 1962 & 1963 seasons. After his active cycling ceased he became very proactive in C road racing circles – he organised the National Professional Road Race L Championship in Gravesend and helped with other town centre races. He was an active commissaire with BCF (the forerunner of today’s BC) and was GCC’s BC U representative in the SE Division. He organised GCC volunteers for the Beastway mountain bike racing at Eastway, which in turn brought much needed income to the B Club. Then when we had difficulty finding a General Secretary recently Peter volunteered. www.gravesendcc.org.uk M Coulter 01474 814475 Gravesend Cycling Club Newsletter August 2015 Peter’s palmares - (from information currently available) 10 miles 22.34 1963 25 miles 57.58 1962 (national comp record 54.28) 50 miles 1.59.05 1962 (n c r 1.52.38) rd 100 miles 4.12.48 1963 3 Ilford RC (n c r 3.54.23) th 12 hr 249.185 1962 4 Middlesex RC (n c r 271.80) nd 1962 BBAR team competition = GCC 2 with an average speed of 23.52mph.
