Beryl Burton totally rocks. My grandad read her autobiography every Christmas (he was a keen amateur competetive cyclist) and apparantly one my first sentences was "Beryl Buron" hee hee hee.
My parents now live, coincidentally, in her home town of Moreley where there is the wondrous "Beryl Burton Memorial Garden" - paving stones and a couple of moth eaten shrubs.
She beat the blokes! And worked in the rhubarb fields. Awesome.
