  1. Does anyone know where I can get my hands on any books by English cycling author and journalist JB
    Wadley particularly one called "my nineteenth tour de france" published in the mid 1970s. There may
    have been one also about the Paris-Brest-Paris classic race. Any else knowledgable about him and his
    books and magazines could help me out (including a full set of Sporting cyclist magazines from the
    late 50s to the late 60s!)

    Many thanks from Australia chickasmith (if you want to reply directly, remove the no_spam_

    If you do an amazon search for books by Wadley - several cycling books come up
    - is it the same Wadley?

  3. Thanks for your super fast response. The "JB" stands for "John Borland" Wadley and more likely thean
    not, these books on Amazon would have been written by him. However, JB Wadley sadly passed away in
    the early 1980s so none of his books would be available new. I am asking at the "Off" chance than
    someone has them and wants to "dispose" of them.

    Go to www.abebooks.com - it's the largest 2nd hand book site in the world. I have bought from there
    several times with success.

    Wasn't the book on P-B-P called 'Old Roads and New'? I never read it but I believe it was the
    inspiration behind the foundation of Audax UK.

    Yes. It was one of the first prizes I ever won in a cycling event. Inspirational. And no its
    not for sale.

    for the mag during a visit to the tour once. A great man! All the best Dan "Steven L. Sheffield"

  10. Many thanks to everyones helpful responses.

    I will keep the title "Old Roads and New" in my back pocket and see if I ever find one. Being in
    Australia, I gather it will be next to impossible to find.

    I do also realise that there is a recent book called "from the pen of JB wadley" as mentioned in
    this topic, however I would like to obtain a few of his own writings if I can before looking at this
    book. I may to to buy it though if I am not able to pick up any of his books.

    As for the Sporting Cyclist magazines, I would be interested in the full set of them which I think
    is 10 or 12 years worth, so at least 120 copies of them. If any can spare me a set, please get in
    contact!!!

    I am only 23 years of age, but this author / journalist would have been on of the best of cycling
    during the halcyon days. I am still hoping.

    Many thanks for your help. Chickasmith (should you want to directly contact me, please remove the
    no_spam_ from the email address supplied in the reply bit!)
