Equinox Ride for ShelterBox March 2010

On Sunday 21 March (the Equinox) CTC Cornwall organised a Charity Ride in aid of ShelterBox, the Helston based Charity. The day was a great success. 105 riders took part and £1,655 has already been collected. The final value to ShelterBox, including Gift Aid is expected to reach £2,000.

There was a choice of road or trail rides, both long and short. Information about these routes is still available on the Equinox Rides Page.

Thanks to Devoran Village Hall management for generous help and to the King Harry Ferry company for free passage for riders on the 50 mile circuit.

Devoran Scouts provided excellent refreshments at modest prices which drew in a few astonished walkers as well as refilling some cycling legs.

Thanks to Karen at the Bike Barn for calmly responding to the sudden influx of 89 hungry road cyclists.

Super support from local clubs contributed to an excellent atmosphere. Read the ride reports on Falmouth Wheelers and Truro Cycling Club web sites

January 2009 - Beryl Burton Biography

We are all aware of the success of British cycling teams at the 2008 Olympic Games, and the World Championships, but many are probably not aware that 50 years earlier a Yorkshire woman, Beryl Burton, was already winning the Women's World Road and Pursuit Championships for Britain and setting records in the National Women's Time Trial Championships. She continued to win Championships for another 30 years. She was probably the best ever female cyclist.

So now Beryl's autobiography "Personal Best" has been re-issued so that her outstanding story and achievements can be made available to a new audience. Find out about the book and how to get it here.

The same company has also re-issued the autobiography of Eileen Sheridan. Details on how to get it here.
