Clearing loft and found scrap book of Askern Cycling Club 1962 to 1966 so did search on Askern C C and found your comments. Most are press cuttings from Doncaster Gasette and Cycling and relate to Pete Hill Robo and Dennis Brunt ect. If you are interested I would scan the info and put it on a disk and post it to you.

Club cycling in the sixties,our club Askern C C we had club shirts purple red and yellow ,yuk, this kit was if i remember only worn when we were time trialing.
The rest of the time clothing was quite drab. I guess we did not what to be laught at,today no one really notices cyclist wear lycra in bright garrish colours.
I`m in my late sixties now i`m back on the bike after 30 years and loving it,my mate and me are in training for a two up 10 T T for BHF and some fun. WE what some flashy lycra,to give averyone a big laugh.

I wear a helmet to keep my head warm but ventilated and not for protectiom. I don’t think they protect much. I wear a fluorescent jacket because the one I have looks like it might be a council or police one and seems to make drivers cautious. The main way it reflects local conditions is that drivers need to be more cautious. OK it wouldn’t be needed if drivers were generally good but I feel it is more about local road users than infrastructure.

The cycle infrastructure south of Kings Cross seems pretty good now too. Around the station is poor but maybe it will improve when it is no longer a builing site. In 2015. Bah.
