Meet the incredible Eileen Sheridan, a true cycling legend! Specialising in time trialing and road record-breaking, she shattered Women’s Road Records Association records in the late 1940s and 1950s, including the iconic Land’s End to John o’ Groats once held by Lilian Dredge. Standing at just 4’11, Eileen broke barriers in the world of cycling. She and her husband Ken Sheridan shared an enduring love for 70 years. Earlier this year, at the age of 99, she sadly passed, leaving a legacy that will never fade. Her impact on the sport is nothing short of Glorious! Video of Eileen training (in her garage!) via British Pathé’s YouTube channel- check it out!
