These are from a circuit race round Stoke-on-Trent one evening in Spring 2014 - a women's and a men's competition round a street route, one of the ways the city tried to regenerate back when that was thought possible. There's quite a cycling tradition in the Potteries, back to the days of the
CTC, the
Clarion Clubs and the temperance movement, and the city sustains two very high-end bike shops,
Swnnerton's (my favourite) and
Brian Rourke Cycles. The crowds were pretty sparse that day though.
