Classic Jigsaw - is it YOU?

Especially those GB ones. Universal were much faster.

And he's got his front wheel in the wrong way round.

He actually looks quite disconcertingly like me at the time...............................

I don't think the chap in blue is actually anything to do with the race at all, he was probably just out for a Sunday ride and is wondering what the hell is going on! hence the look on his face

Fantastic picture but what I notice most - not a single pothole in sight, and look at that surface! If that was taken today, that inside line would be a series of craters to navigate!

Another thing to notice...........not a water bottle in sight. Those were for Sunday Club Runs.

Driest is fastest we used to say

Shaun

PS we did try some green crystalised powder stuff mixed with water but it tasted like urine, wish I could remember it's name, had sugar and salt in it

I know that feeling, intimately...

..but I'm inclined to be more charitably disposed towards Mr. Blue jersey- obviously he's the perpetrator of a plucky one-man breakaway early in the race, just getting caught by the peloton, and to make matters worse, he is on a collision course with a piece of that one-foot-wide sellotape that they used to use to effect road repairs in the '70s- very dangerous- no wonder he looks worried!

I recognise most of the jerseys but the memories are slow to surface! Give it time.

I might be wrong but the pale blue bike in 2nd place looks like a Major Nichols.

Early 70's late 60's BCF Birmingham Division definitely. I might have been just around the corner. Having said that I very vaguely recall these puzzles BITD and the photos were posed, hence the lack of bottles and the exaggerated grimace.

The trees look really difficult, I bet that's the last area of the puzzle to be completed.

What......?

In fact, you're quite correct in your assumption. Took Mrs Ned ages to finish that part.

And I thought MY language was bad when in a spot of difficulty

Thanks to another forum I have identified the rider in blue - and from what I can gather he might well have been the winner (if it was an actual race). A top rider in both road and TT's from the Walsall RCC, hence the 'W' on his jersey.

Still waiting for someone to come forward about the others.

If its not a secret why not name the rider you've identified ?

All in good time!

I've just found out about the Evesham rider.

So that's 2. Only a few more............
