‘The Gayford Flyer’ a great success! Hadleigh’s inaugural cycling festival attracted hundreds of riders and their families to the town.The festival consisted of a sportive for over 200 adult cyclists and a junior event for 24 young cyclists. The Hadleigh Cycling Club planned the weekend to capitalise on the national and countywide interest in cycling, enthuse children and their parents, draw cyclists to the town and benefit local businesses. The sportive was named “The Gayford Flyer” in recognition of the town’s world record breaking aviator, Oswald Gayford. The 50km and 100km routes took the riders past landmarks including Gayford family home on Angel Street, RAF Wattisham where he served as commander and his final resting place in Naughton. The junior event proved to be an excellent opportunity for youngsters to receive coaching and experience racing in a safe environment. James Cartlidge, MP for South Suffolk, visited the event and witnessed the youngsters as they were put through a series of drills and participated in races. Adam Chamberlin, Chair of the Club said, “We believe that this weekend supports the Suffolk’s Year of Cycling initiative and links with the County Council’s ambition to be the “most active county”. “It also helps to ensure that there is a legacy for cycling in Hadleigh after the visits by the professionals in June with the Women’s Tour and the Tour of Britain last weekend.” Richard Holdaway, Sportive Director said, “The Flyer couldn’t have taken place without the help of numerous volunteers and the backing of businesses in the town. It has been a tremendous amount of work but the riders are already asking whether we will run it again next year!” ...Continued on page 5
