Just thought I'd point out that it was 35 years ago today that "King Alf" Engers achieved a major milestone in Time Trialling History with the first sub 50 minute 25 Mile Time Trial on the E72 London - Colchester Road Course when he completed the course in 49 minutes and 24 seconds.
As a small celebration I thought I'd take my Emperor out to the location and take a few pics. The A12 is now a very busy major dual-carriageway so for safety reasons I decided to take the pics just off on one of it's slip-roads.
If you want to read more about Alf Engers, his sub 50 minute 25, or his ground breaking bikes, there is tons of information on the 'net.
