love the commitment them old timers new how to ride! Considering the machinery. Still baffles me when you look at the TT lap times from all them years back. Respect
I often fought about that. Cycling is the same, my dad raced late 1940s into 50s & they did 50 miles in 2 hr 11mins on steel frames & fixed wheels. No carbon, gears, proper nutrition, drugs etc
They were pretty hardcore back in the day! Very brave considering the machinery and road conditions..... we could all learn a lot from the old timers...... Oh hang on...I am old
