Committee

Peter came into the sport of Cycling in 1952 via a School Cycling Club. He joined Icknield Road Club  and started racing the same year. In his  first year Peter managed 1.04.02 for 25miles and 25.06 for 10miles and was awarded a silver medal aged 14.Peter joined the VTTA 44 years ago when he could not ride as fast as when he was young because he never had time to train and get lots of miles in. Around  the 1970/1980 period Peter promoted  5 VTTA National Championship events on the  fast F1 Great North Road courses at both 25and 50miles when people like the late Brian Haskell would come down to ride also George and Mary Dawson from Yorkshire and Teesside in the early 1990. Peter was elected Chairman of RTTC/CTT London North and also served on the National Appeals Panel. Peter gave up competing in 1998 and but still rides the bike every day though he uses the turbo when it's cold and wet now.

My main focus is organising the annual luncheon and award ceremonies.

I live in Bucks and ride for Berkhamsted CC and race mostly in North and West or anywhere I’m able to convince my wife she could have a nice weekend away handing me up bottles!

My main interest is as a duathlete  I’m neither brilliant at cycling or running but the combination of both makes me quite a good  competitor.
