Ian Cammish: Time Trialling 'Legend' / 'icon' / 'wannabe' / 'has-been' / whatever floats your boat.
The what, why and wherefore of British Time Trialling as seen through the eyes of me … Ian Cammish, holder of over 50 National Cycling Championships and Records. Or ... the aftermath of an extended college project, “how to create a web-site” by son Jack, aged 17, Hills Road College, Cambridge. (I think winning and breaking over 50 National Championships and records were easier!).
“I could write a book” I said. But Peter Whitfield, author of Twelve Champions, The Condor Years and more, told me “there’s no money in it” so for anyone who’s interested here’s a totally free, unexpurgated insight into time trialling through the ages from yours truly … Ian Cammish aged 55 ¼.
Over the forty-plus years I've been cycling, a lot of influential people have helped me achieve what I set out to do but inevitably, over the period of time, we have all each gone our own separate ways. This is just one way of expressing my gratitude to you all. If it also brings back fond memories of yesteryear to any time trialling enthusiasts who happen to stumble on the site, then so much the better :-)
The speed of the PDQ trispokes continues to amaze
even me.
Chris Maund sent a cheque for his from California in Monday 12 January 2015. The
cheque took 11 days to arrive by post.
Chris’s PDQ trispoke was dispatched from Fox Street Post Office in Little Gransden,
Bedforshire at 2.05pm on Thursday 29 January. It arrived in at Chris’ home in California
(that’s the California in the United States of America) at 4-02pm on Friday 30 January.
Now that IS PDQ isn’t it?
After picking himself up off the floor (as I did when I heard just how quick it had got there)
and regained his composure long enough to be able to string a few words together,
Chris’ said … “All looks good and intact. That hub is VERY smooth. Once I've ridden
it I'll give you some feedback”.
