Club details
The club secretary is Peter Whitfield, author of a number of books on cycling history, and a time-triallist for many years, but now easing off from racing. Peter raced successfully on a tandem for many years.
Our honorary president is Les West, legendary road champion of the 1960s and 70s. Les won two Milk Races, two national amateur road championships, two national professional road championships, and two Manx Internationals. He is perhaps best remembered for his silver medal in the 1966 World Road Championship, and his fourth place in the World Professional Road Championship in 1970. Modest, relaxed, humorous, Les is a true gentleman of the sport, and he is still riding and still racing.
If you are reasonably fit and interested in raising your cycling a little, why not contact us about joining the club ? Our weekend rides are between 30 and 50 miles, steady pace. Actually we were going out more regularly during the winter, as everybody seems to be busier in the summer, but theoretically we go out from Charlbury on Saturday and/or Sunday mornings. For more information contact Peter Whitfield (email peterwychwood@hotmail.co.uk).
