Photograph from Reading Chronicle Collection - July 1938
The group pose for a photograph on their bikes.
Held at Palmer Park cycle track, the Reading Wheelers, a bicycle club met for a few races. Events included the half-mile race, the two mile race, the penny-farthing race. The 12 hour record was broken by Mrs Pearl Wellington who covered 212 miles in the time, seven better than previously. She did a celebratory lap of honour.
This photograph was taken for the Berkshire Chronicle but was not published.
