When Beryl raced TT, S if there was field of 100 men she would finish in the top 5, the most complete male cyclist was Eddy Merckx and Beryl was up there with him bless her.

Great video and remember watching Russell race. Seemed to have no end of bad luck but was usually a front runner. Quick lad.

22:11 that's fast!

Don't think the drivers in F1 are truly the best in the World most are there because of deep pockets Piquet was renowned for going through far more tyres in F3 than anyone else because his family could afford them

Well done! Brought a smile to my face over my morning cuppa!!!

Incredible talent

Chevin has turned into the Alps?

Alex handled this beautifully ❤

Met her twice she was very nice

And she was a working mum

Great film. Fantastic footage of the terrain. It's a shame to see how much it's changed with erosion and all the paving to repair the erosion of the last 40-50 years

great film thanks for sharing

What an inspiration.

Fantic 250

Brilliant footage!!my father was in this actual race and also following year,I was 8 years old and found watching this bring back happy memories,thankyou

She used to ride down and stay in our Forest CC Club hut near the start of the "sporting" E1, off the A11 north of Bishops Stortford. There was a note in the visitors book "Beryl snores". So now you know.

Had one absolutely lovely bike HRC engine man I miss that bike

Amazing lady.

Take note 😊 she always rides with her right hand in the drop and her left hand on the flat part of the bars 😊😊😊

RIP Roger Greenwood

Jonathan. I hope this message reaches you soon. Firstly, my condolences to you, your brothers and mum. I have a letter I want to send to Susan and you all. Is ‘Stoneleigh’ still the correct address all these years on? If not I shall have to change the envelope and send it c/o Goods of Otley. Vernon

20 years ago bumped into Harry Walker of Blackburn harriers at the Burnsal fell race. He was so humble and an absolute gentleman. He ran a 20 mile round trip training run-to pendle hill climbed the steps 6 times during. Awesome.

Cheers Johnny for this. 👍

The best in the world on a trials bike. 👍🇬🇧🏆

After all these years, I finally got to 'see' the Great Beryl Burton'. As a child mum would often talk about her. Being a born and bred Yorkshireman, I can see my female contemporaries in her. It used to be a common saying here..'In Yorkshire the men are men and the women are men'. Because we recognised, for generations, women are equal to men, in energy, stamina and all other activity's in life. Here they simply had to be. As a consequence, Beryl sadly died 8 years after this film was made at a young 58, as her daughter said, 'Mum was just worn out'. As Monty Python joked, in their Yorkshiremen sketch, 'When I were a lad....'', yes life was tough for many, not just in Yorkshire. You didn't adopt the 'Victorian Work Ethic', you were forced into it simply to survive. Beryl's competition career flourished at a time when today's achievement rewards weren't available. She deserved even better than she manifestly got in abundance. A proud lass from a still proud race of people.

Can someone tell me when Eddie luzan won in Wales 198? South Wales

@ 2:52 Her seat is too low....Buahahahahaha! BUt I do love her short shorts. I wish they would make them for men as well.

For the men of culture 😂 14:48

Big Dougie fan 🇺🇸🥇

Agent Smith's Matrix revealed ...jokes aside, great bit of television :)

Great stuff! He was a good driver and deserved to succeed.

Go on dug you are amazing my idal go on.

I wish weekend tv was still like this. Fantastic. With no feed stations i know after 3+hours (for an athlete) you bonk and have nothing left in the tank!

Cumbria me Scotland now not so popular

I'm doing it again son in toe watch this space. I was on a old bultaco 175 sherpa T nigel birkett was there also 💯✊🙏🙏🙏

Where’s all the fancy gear😁 Amazing feat

you can't often say this, but we will never see her like again, it's a pity the wider world never knew what every cyclist did at the time. RIP

trials requires so much skill. great to see the old isa bikes

A "one off", very down to earth, devoted herself to cycling, was true to herself. Did what she wanted to do. Comes across as a charming, lovely person.

I had a used pair of those Santa Claus red and white Alpinestars handed down to me from John Lampkin back in the day. This was before this, late 80's. My dad bought his works Fantic 301. It was quite a beast back then.

SOLID GOLD

had the honour to have competed with Beryl in the NRCC centenary time trial 1995, had time for everyone, an absolute legend. if she was competing now !!

That’s awesome, you must be proud 🔥👌🏻

Love this film so much, not much has changed in fell running !

Hats off to Martin for creating such a world class course

Arthur was also a star in scrambling

God bless him like Arther unstopable
