1991 Raleigh Team

bulletMicky Morrison has a lot to answer for!

This has got to be an all time classic. In 1991 Team Raleigh looked like this, it was a Team for all events not just mountain biking. Micky Morrison was the manager, he is the doggie looking one behind the car door. From left to right, Gary Coltman - he was mainly a road rider that did a bit of mtbing this year. He had ridden for as an mtb and road pro for Ridgeback and Every Ready. In 1991 he actually won the national mtb downhill championships! Micky Morrison - he was a road pro himself before turning to management. He has some good stories of ANC days!  Adrian Timmis - he rode (and finished) the Tour de France for ANC and was also a member of Raleigh-Banana in the late eighties. He was now an accomplished mountain bike racer. Paul Hinton - he was one of the original Raleigh mtb team from '88 & '89, YoHint as he was known, he knew the weight of all the trick bits for his bike.  Pauline Strong - time traillist, hold the record from Land End to John O'Groats along with many others. Ian Cammish - like Pauline a time traillist, there is not many records or races he has not won.  David Baker - mountain bike king, he was a member of the original Peugeot team that brought mountain biking into the spot light.  Myself - second year with Team Raleigh. Caroline Alexander - like myself in her second year with Raleigh, this would be her year to make big improvements.

This is outside the Copthorne Hotel (one of the team sponsors) in Newcastle.
