Intro1

There is a lot to do before the web site is up to speed. If you would like to contribute now is the time to get in touch via info at tour-racing.co.uk

The brief is simple - anything of interest to fans of Cycle Racing Tours, past, present or future. And things of interest are most likely items that add to what is available on the web. So no value in this site re-listing the previous winners of the Tour de France, for example. They are already available in lots of places - printed and electronic.

However a story or photo - from decades past or just last week - that makes a unique contribution to the web is what is needed.

It is amazing how much material is lost or destroyed every year. And the older it was the less chance there is of another copy being found. Even magazine articles from the 1950s are disintegrating into useless fragments. And electronic media vanishes overnight when websites are not maintained. So scan those fragile paper / film records and give copies to everyone you can!

Because such much of our latest archive material is from the 1950s - and because period is the least reported era of the material we have - almost all the additions to the web site are from this decade.

The other decades have not been forgotten - they are just a bit further back in the priority list.
