Mick has been cycling and time trialling since the sixties and is one
of the very few members to have consistently ridden at more than 25mph
over all distances up to 100 miles. In the sixties he recalls leaving home
in Southampton in the small hours, cycling the 70 miles to Slough with
racing wheels attached to the bike on wheel carriers. He would then race
the 50 mile time trial and cycle home again.
He has been a member of Leamington since the early eighties and has some fast
times and club records to his name, including:
25 mile vets record in 2000 with 55:49, a 'plus' of 18:33
30 mile personal best of 1:08:22 in 1991
30 mile vets record in 2003, with 1:11:29, a 'plus' of 19:47
50 mile record in 1984 with 1:54:19 " 100 mile record in 1993 with
3:59:28
