Your just a kid OLD CHAP I will 87 in June. Do you still ride at all, where in the USA are you now? I came over in 1957Time trials usually around Minworth on a Sunday. Used to meet at a canal lock hut to change our wheels and gears. When I was 16 rode massed starts in the Droitwhich/Worcester/Stratford area mostly as a independent then joined Birmingham Mercury which I believe had some affiliation with ICI by the speedway in Perry Barr. I am 76 so in 1956 I started to race through 1960/61 then came to the US.
Just started to ride again thanks to your motivation! Purchased a Trek hybrid and starting out carefully. Will ride tomorrow just a few miles. The weather has improved in TN and look forward to the spring and summer.Your just a kid OLD CHAP I will 87 in June. Do you still ride at all, where in the USA are you now? I came over in 1957

Thanks, I was going to say that and then thought do not be silly, how would they have got up here and before anyone else says it, A39, M5 and A38.Exmoor.
One of those horses looks like the one i backed to win the Derby. One owner whispered in his horses ear " If you finish last again you`ll be doing the milk round tomorrow" Our milkround horse in Erdington was called George, & the milkman was Jim. Strange how we remember such trivia.14th July Little Bracebridge Pool View attachment 146743View attachment 146744View attachment 146745
Apparently the horses in Sutton Park is the same as that found on Exmoor. The ponies have teeth that are suitable for this type of horse.Thanks, I was going to say that and then thought do not be silly, how would they have got up here and before anyone else says it, A39, M5 and A38.

I usually place one bet per year (maybe) at the Kentucky Derby (was spared this year). My record has nothing to do with winning, just to not be last!
