A Brixton cycles club member and old school Herne Hill racer, if you trained or raced at the track you probably would have known Rob, a massive man with a massive enthusiasm for the sport.

That's a terrible loss. Condolences to his family.

Shit, I was chatting to him yesterday on FB. Stunned. Can't believe it. A great man, gentle giant. Always full of encouragement. Also one of the few who kept grass-court polo going as long as it did. A real loss to UK cycling.

such shocking news.. for those that knew Rob Jeffries, to his family and friends my condolences, keep strong, ride safe..

Ah thats really sad

Sad day thoughts go out to his family

Whilst travelling to Hillbilly and MrsSocks wedding we passed a Ghost bike on a wide carriageway near Wareham. I've just searched google to find out more details as to who the cyclist was.

The realisation that that bike on a soulless stretch of the A351 was a memorial to Rob has left me feeling rather bleak. You deserved better Rob.

Not sure I'd have ridden there had I seen this before hand. It's my biggest fear of riding outside of London.

RIP

in case you had wondered.
