In February 2018 I was delighted to receive a letter from Brian Major, who features frequently in this website’s accounts of the Northwood Wheelers. He’s frequently mentioned in the club newsletters, for example. He included some more information about the club’s history, and some photographs (see gallery below).

In Brian's words:

The club continued with moderate success after 1955 as David may recall better than I. From memory my own contributions resulted in me being Club Champion in 1956, 1957, 1961, 1962 and having broken club records at ’25’, ’50’, ’30’, ‘100’ and 12hr with modest performances by today’s results.

After 1961/2 it became apparent that general interest was dwindling. Competitive and social activity was in serious decline and so in 1963 I joined South Ruislip CC and became their Club Champion (my last real claim to fame!).

In 1967 South Ruislip CC and Uxbridge Wheelers amalgamated to form Hillingdon CC which is my present club but my time trialling days ended in 2004 when poor health overtook ambition.
