Thanks for the info Rob. I hadn't realised he passed away so early.
Here's a few more. I think they're all from the West Yorkshire championship race mid/late 70's, held north of Leeds. I'm sure with a little bit of digging I can get the actual year.
The bunch chasing. These will probably all be 1st category riders. Can't put a name to any - but I know a man who can!
A couple chasing the break - or they could be the break, can't remember! Charly Burton (Beryl's husband) on the right with the bell. Must be start of last lap
Beryl Burton chasing with a clubmate on her wheel. This must have been an early uni-sex event? Charly shouting encouragement. I've still got my Morley CC jersey like those from my time with the club in '77. Let's just say It's a bit 'snug' now...................................
The winning break at the finish. Keith McArthur from Harrogate winning the sprint. Second place I can't remember. (But I know a man etc.) Keith was a young rising star and later rode the Milk Race. No idea who the distant third is. He might even have been lapped!
Sprint for the minor placings. I wonder if the young lad spectating ever grew up to be a cyclist?
