Your bike and a site from cycling history
Hope this hasn't been done before, but it could be fun to see some nearly forgotten cycling heritage, or its remains.
I'll crack off with what was originally the Farmers' Tavern (Shelfield, Great Marsden), but from 1911 to the 1950s was the Colne Clarion House.

The last remaining Clarion House on Clarion Sunday - I even got a little ribbon!

The track at Swinden this morning, with a nutter on the point of the arrow.
According to the Visit Pendle website - "The Steven Burke cycle circuit and hub opened in July 2014. It is named after Steven Burke, Colne’s Olympic Gold medallist."

A relic of good two wheeled intentions on the cycle way into Marlborough

I have a few somewhere of my bike at the Folly in Roundhay Park (Leeds)

It was on the course, where Roger Hammond won his 1992 World Cyclo-Cross ‘Gold’

I have an even better memory of the event, he was staying with friends of mine, for the event (the 2 sons were both in the Junior GB team too)
I was talking to Norah, their mum, afterwards & Roger came up to see her
Gave her a hug, l shook his hand congratulating him
Then he lifted his sweater to reveal ’rainbow stripes’!

Old on new, rack must be decades older than the bike, from an age when 'normal' people still used their bikes as cheap transport

Clarion Sunday today - it got too busy for me

My folder in front of Beryl Burton gardens in my home town.

The "gardens" are looking a bit tired unfortunately
