  • JOHN CROOK – Cycling Experiences
    JOHN CROOK – Cycling Experiences My introduction to cycling was as a 12-year-old grammar schoolboy, when during the school summer term, we had French exchange boys who knew about the Wednesday evening track meetings at the Southampton Sports centre. A group of us attended these track meetings, being very envious of the French boy’s bikes with their coloured frames, calliper brakes and derailleur gears. Compared to our own ‘Sit up and Beg’ black bikes. It was also an opportunity to dream of having our own Claud Butler, Rotrax, Holdsworth etc. racing bikes ridden by the track riders and grown up spectators. These track meetings were well supported by cyclists and public spectators, there was even a regular programme seller. The track was well used by the ‘Track League’ club events and invitation events. The ‘end of season’ promotion, by the Southern Paragon CC, was quite a big event, I remember Beryl Burton being one of the celebrity riders. Sadly, the track was broken up (in the 80s?) to make room for grass field events. Various sports people petitioned to keep it open, but the bulldozers were called in before decisions could be made! On leaving school at 15, I started work as an invoice clerk for ‘Kearley and Tongue’, who was the food distributor for International Stores, another large chain of grocers which has disappeared. , Also, on leaving school I joined the CTC with another school leaver, which was a very good introduction to cycling. After a few months I heard of ‘Massed Start Racing’ at the Blandford Army Camp, so I made my way there several times where I met Mike Radford, a well known local cyclist (and enthusiast).

Nendel © 2006 James D. Nendel Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2006 The thesis of James D. Nendel was reviewed and approved* by the following: Mark S. Dyreson Associate Professor of Kinesiology Thesis Advisor Chair of Committee R. Scott Kretchmar Professor of Kinesiology Douglas R. Anderson Professor of Philosophy James G. Thompson Professor of Kinesiology John Challis Graduate Program Director ... Department of Kinesiology Graduate Program Director *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii Abstract On August 24, 2002, the United States Postal Service issued a commemorative stamp in honor of the man whom Robert Rider, Chairman of the Postal Service Board of Governors, called “a hero in every sense of the word.”1 The stamp honored Duke Kahanamoku, a man regarded with the reverence bestowed upon a legendary figure in his home State of Hawai`i, yet relatively unknown on the United States mainland. Bishop Museum archivist Desoto Brown described Kahanamoku as “the most famous Hawaiian person who has ever been, in terms of him being 100 percent ethnically Hawaiian.”2 Known as the “Hawaiian fish,” Kahanamoku is indisputably one of the greatest heroes that the Hawaiian Islands have ever produced. Born in 1890 Duke Paoa Kahinu Makoe Hulikohoa Kahanamoku3 died in 1968. In his lifetime, Hawai’i moved from an independent monarchy to full statehood in the United States of America.

To learn more or opt-out, read our Cookie Policy. Another book I'm not sure I know how to write about. The first half of it I loved, the second half of it just got on my tits. Do I sing the praises of the first half or just pick away at what's wrong with the second half? Oh decisions, decisions, decisions. Strengths: Moore conducted numerous interviews with the key players, meaning the book offers a variety of voices and viewpoints. The benefit of this is particularly obvious when you compare Moore's version of Hoy's story with the one presented in the official autobiography ghosted by Moore. Weaknesses: Critical insight into the British Cycling set-up seems to stop with the departure of Peter Keen. On the other side of the story, Moore gets a tad too close to his subject - Hoy - and starts spouting some serious bullshit. And he really doesn't need to do down road cycling and Mark Cavendish in order to make Hoy and the British Cycling track programme look good. Once upon a time, British cyclists ruled the world.
