Tony Doyle (info from http://www.fixedwheel.co.uk/medium%20gear%20history.htm )

On 27-2-1977 18 year old Tony Doyle of the Clarence Wheelers won the Crabwood CC medium gear 25 in a time of 59-19, beating the hour for the first time in a medium gear event. His time was only 3 seconds slower than the national record of that time held by Ken Craven

On 23-2-1980 Tony Doyle set a record which would stand for 19 years, again it was the Crabwood CC medium gear 25. The conditions were described as cold and bleak, but this didn’t stop Tony flying round in an incredible 56-30 to win the event with no less than five and a half minutes to spare. Bournmouth Jubilee’s Nick Frewin was 2nd with a 1-2-00 and Tony’s Clarence Wh clubmate Bob Corcoran was 3rd with a 1-3-20.
