Paddington Cycling Club?

ha ha yes big laughs... do you recall that dog 'one eye' that guarded our house whilst we were away..?

Things obviously had moved on in club since I was a member in the 70's. The furthest we got was a youth trip to the Cotswolds!

Found a couple more pictures - a few of us in full kit at Eastway in 92, unfortunately the photographer shaved the top of our heads off, and another one from Wales in the same year of Steve competing in a local evening 10.

Is that Paul Shuttleworth on the right in the back row?

Is that Paul Shuttleworth on the right in the back row?

Yes, that's him. The others left to right are me(Paul Shipway),Spencer Kirkham, Stephen Aslin, with Mikey (Fowley?) and Steve Wharton at the front.

Well, he hadn't changed a bit since I last saw him, which was in 1979, when I left London (and Paddington CC).

Paul I cannot believe you have a picture of me doing a 10m TT.
Nowadays the longest TT i will do is 1Km!!!!
Weather permitting i will be down Herne Hill for the Good Friday meeting.
After the track event I will be at the Rollapaluza National finale that eve in the Half moon pub around the corner from the track. Sounds like a good time to all meet up?

Ed i remember that miserable little dog. He did not like big steve.
I have loads of pictures of that week in Spain.
I will have to scan them in and post.

I'll try and come down. I saw Steve Wharton recently and discussed the idea of having a reunion club run for ex-club members.Maybe a social paced ride of about 50k followed by a few beers when the weather improves. Anyone up for this?

I would, but I'd need lots of notice as I live in Carlisle.

hello all, used to ride with paddington around early 1990's, drinks at the man on the moon wasn't it first monday of the month and meeting at the pond on the weekend, normally with a stinking hangover (i was young!)

i think that is spencer third in from the right, i think he now rides with finchley. as for me i still ride and race! i recall shuttleworth, fast, flash wheels on the tt, oh how i wanted a pair! .

guy319 add your name to the list?
Paul I will be up for a social ride for old times sake.
Ed you still building bike frames?

Wiggo was a member of Paddington CC? I never knew that. After my time, of course. We both grew up in Paddington but that is as much as we have in common.

Steve, i never got started.. i half built the frame brazing jig. I did cut the lugs and brake bridge spears on my custom Paris though.

I will dredge up more names if I can, I joined in the early 80's, I remember Malcolm taking me on a ride to assess my fitness when I had just started cycling, he took me round the hard riders! But the hardest rides were Wales, I remember on my first time there attacking Shuttle on the Sychnant pass with Martin Weedon, my god did I pay for that!! I also remember old one eye, he was one aggressive little dog, just like most of the riders!!!!!

Who was the American guy.... Ronnie...????

Yoav - Bradley was with Paddington for a couple of Years and would come out on clubruns.

I think it might have been Ronnie DeBlanche, ring any bells Steve?

1. Robert Kenny
   
2. Guy Eliahou (maybe spelt wrong)
   

i thought that Neil Carlson was from accross the pond... do you recall his bikes with all that lightened dura ace, they weighed nothing, but always broke down on a club run.

I think it might have been Ronnie DeBlanche, ring any bells Steve?

Ronnie Le Blanche rings a bell but i think it was our nick name for him as we found a cyclist in a picture from the TDF that looked like him. I was thinking it was Ronnie Blanche. I could be wrong but he it going on the list.
