This week in cycling history…
- 12 May is the birthday of Beryl Burton, a prolific cyclist on the road and track who dominated several races. She took out more than 90 domestic championship titles in time trialling, road race and pursuit between 1957 and 1986, as well as 15 World Championship medals, including the gold medal in the road race in 1960 and 1967, and set several national records. Burton also won the top accolade in cycling in the UK, the Bidlake Memorial Prize, a record number of three times.
