'PERSONAL BEST' - by Beryl Burton
Beryl Burton was a phenomenon. Regularly defeating male competitors her
'palmares' were truly outstanding, 5 times World Pursuit Champion
(silver & bronze - 3 times each), World Road Race Champion
twice (silver once), Woman's BBAR consecutively for 25
years (1959/1984) and winner of 122 British National Championship
titles, the list goes on.... Thankfully she couldn't sprint!!
Beryl's own story is folk-lore (catching and beating Mike McNamara in
the 1967 Otley 12-hour time trial) in British cycling and this
re-edited and re-issed book, written by this tough Yorkshire lass is
the true story of one of the greatest athletes of the 20th Century.
Did Beryl really offer McNamara a Liquorice Allsort after 236 miles of
racing when she caught him? Was she the only woman to be invited to
ride the prestigious Grand Prix de Nations the same year?? Read this
amazing book and all will be revealed.
