This is the first time I'm doing a girly cycling tour and I'm loving it! What a delight to be outside, feel free, enjoy the fresh air and ride my bike gently through the beautiful forest. It really feels magical!

Whizzing round the Poole Park cycle track
Did you learn to ride your bike in Poole Park? Or maybe you raced here? From its opening in 1892, the Poole Park track was the place to go for cycling in Poole. Thousands enjoyed the exhilarating track races.
Others came for fun family rides.
This track is one of the few Victorian park cycle tracks remaining: Just like today
cycling was very fashionable then. As soon as the Poole track opened, races became popular events.
'Encouraged by the frantic. Often there were 12,000 spectators.
The two main clubs were the Poole
Wheelers and Wesley Guild Cycling Club.
The Banten brothers were the local stars.
The family owned a bicycle shop and raced for Wesley Guild CC.
In the 1930s, Bill Harvell was the star rider.
He trained at Poole Park and won a Bronze Medal at the Olympic Games in 1932.
In 1933, he led the Poole Wheelers' team to victory at the National Team Pursuit Championship. Another champion was Marguerite Wilson from Bournemouth.
She became the first full-time female professional cyclist. At one point she held all 16 women's distance records.
In the 1970s and 80s, riders travelled quite a distance to compete here. It was one of the few places for mid-week racing.
Imagine racing here. The first track was gravel and cinder. In places it isn't much more than two metres wide. How did they avoid the benches and trees? Not to mention the water and spectators. Try to picture the spectacle of 30 fast and furious riders whizzing round the track.
Poole Wheelers are still an active club today, with regular rides for members of all abilities. Families also come to ride their bikes. Did you race or learn to ride your bike on the Poole Park track?
[...] Life: a cycle. A series of events, meetings, and departures. Friends discovered, others lost, Precious time, wastes away. Big droplet tears are shed for yesterday, but are dried in time for tomorrow, until all that remain are foggy, broken memories of a happy yesteryear [...]
