In her cycling days Eileen Sheridan a Coventry born lady was national 25 mile time trial champion in 1945, only a year after riding her first race. She had a break when her son was born but was soon back to be national champion at 25, 50 and 100 miles and all round national champion in 1949 and 1950. Following this she turned professional to pursue distance records and was given a contract to ride for the Hercules Bicycle Company of Coventry. During the late 1940’s and 1950’s she broke all the records of the Women’s Road Records Association, 5 of the 21 still stand. The classic Lands End to John O’Groats was ridden by Eileen in 11 hours less than the previous record but she was not allowed to stop and celebrate, she got back on her bike and continued to also break the 1000 mile record.

The Eileen Sheridan Time Trial will be held on 11th August 2024 on the K11/10T Course and is part of the Midland Women’s Time Trial Series.
