Waiting for the off
As part of a feature about the Roundhay in Leeds, the reports goes on to detail Richmond’s North Riding Track League, saying:
Based at Richmond Grass Track, which is even older than Roundhay, dating back to 1869, the club formed two years ago and has just finished it first full season. The velodrome hosts the National Grass Track Championships each Spring Bank Holiday, the oldest event of its kind in the world, but did not hold a season of meets.
James Hall, who is one of the organising team, said the aim is to eventually set up a Ridings Cup which will see the two clubs compete against each other.
