The TI-Raleigh professional cycling team, sponsored by the iconic Nottingham bike manufacturer, is one of the most famous teams in the sport. Join Chris Sidwells – author of Cycling Legends: TI-Raleigh – to hear about its remarkable achievements and successes, including victory at the 1980 Tour de France.
All TI-Raleigh’s team bikes were built in the UK, firstly at the Carlton Cycles works on Dock Road, Worksop, later in a specialised unit in Ilkeston and all designed by a Worksop man, Gerald O’Donovan. Chris explores this local connection in a story that is a triumph of British engineering, as well as dedication to athletic excellence and success.
This free talk is part of our celebrations for Heritage Open Days 2022.
