Small world Rob,.......obviously when i met Gordon Booty and he told me about his brother Ray i looked up his achievments,very impressive.Gordon and his wife Mary are in their 70s now and still very active,they live nr Bristol,lovely people.Do you want me to pass on your regards?

Although not into cycle racing,i struck up a friendship recently with a chap called Gordon Booty whose brother Ray was a well known figure in the Cycling world ,he set some sort of British record in the 50s,and i just wondered if Peveral and Karlton had heard of him,he was originally from Sandiacre/Staplefod.
