Racing At Stapleford Tawney

A Memory of Stapleford Tawney.

I was born in Chingford prior to the Second World War. In the early 1950s I became an avid cyclist and participated in several massed start cycle races on Stapleford Tawney aerodrome. If I remember right there was a downhill stretch on the circuit unkind to flesh and machine being mostly gravel. I wonder if anyone else remembers. About that time I belonged to the Unity CC in Highgate. Also at that time a fast run from Chingford to Bishops Stortford and back along the Epping road several evenings a week proved good training for time trialers.
