Hi, I found this thread so I thoght I would give you a quick update on some of the old members of Paddington CC as I was a member in the 70's and 80's.
John Austin is alive and well and living in North Wales, he celebrated his 70's birthday last year with many of the old club members and will be in London this week.
I was part of the track team with Barry Ford who is still racing, Paul Dodd who is still racing and Paul Robbiliard who has not touched a bike for years. Carlo Bordi has been racing and Ray George was riding last year.
I still ride my bike and took part in the Etape this year and even though they were many years ago all of the training I did with John A in places like Wales, The Wye valley, Yorkshire and many other places taught me how to suffer and handle my bike.
I have some old pictures of racing at the track and will post some when I get permission on this site.
