A Potted History of Roger' Cycling Career cont. ...
I called it a day after my last competitive
year of racing in 1990 and moved back to London with my wife who had a
successful career in the music Industry.
I kept on form by running regularly and sometimes competing for London
Irish, plus the weekly 2 hour ride from our base in the inner London area of
Harlesden and yearly cycling holidays.
However, my passion was re-ignited when I took my nephew, Conor Dunne on holiday in 2005 to show him my old stomping ground in the Vercors and surrounding areas. Something must have worked as he is currently ranked 2nd fastest UK junior over 10 miles, and has recently parted with Hemel Hempstead RC to ride with the well known Glendene CC, managed by the infamous Bob Downs, who I learnt so much from in my earlier days. The timing was right for both Teresa and myself, so here we are, at Velo Vercors where I look forward to welcoming you and passing on my knowledge and experience of cycling in this wonderful region.
