NORWOOD PARAGON CYCLING CLUB Open 25 Mile Time Trial for the Robin Buchan Memorial Salver 10th May 2009 Promoted for and on behalf of Cycling Time Trials under their Rules and Regulations Course G25/53
ROBIN BUCHAN If ever there was a forthright and colourful character in the Norwood Paragon it was Robin Buchan. Although a Midlander, born in Stratford upon Avon in 1933, he became a highly regarded Southerner who missed a unique record of being a British Time Trial Champion at the extreme limits of 25 miles and 24 Hours by a mere 2 seconds. He won the 24 Hour title in the Catford Cycling Club event of 1971 with 483.84 miles and missed the 25 mile title, won by Gordon Ian in 1955 by just two seconds! He was equally impressive in road races and on the track. A member of the British team to the 1960 Olympics in Rome for both road and track teams, held a first category road licence and was a formidable contender in madison, pursuit and tandem paced races on the track. A measure of his abilities in 1970 can be gauged from 16 open time trial and 3 road race wins, Club records at 50 and 100 miles and 11th place in the BBAR. A year later he improved to 3rd place in the BBAR, set the country s fastest 50, won the CTC BAR and further reduced the Club's 50 and 100 miles records. Sadly, however, Robin never achieved one of his life long ambitions, the Lands End to John O'Groats End to End record, which he had scheduled for June 1976. Out on a mile eating training run in preparation for this, on April 4th 1976, the pneumonia virus that he had been fighting, overcame him and he died awheel on his adopted beloved Surrey roads.
