Re Eileen Sheridan
There is some you tube footage of her doing the 100mile record, which was run on a course from London to Norwich or up what would be the A11 and then the A12,
I think the film of that run explains her set up. She seems to have rode mainly on the drops to get a flat back.
If you read " One more Kilometre and we are in the Showers" by Tim Hilton, which I am amazed none of you mention, then there is a chapter on women and post war distance record breaking . Eileen and others feature in this
