@daisyasquith worth it though. You've done a great job. How long did it take to find all the shots?

Just enjoyed this. I'd never seen Beryl Burton in action before. There's an awesome sequence of a 1962 Cyclocross race where she completely thrashes the opposition and arrives at the finish looking as fresh as a daisy. I knew she was pretty amazing, but I didn't realise quite how amazing.

where she completely thrashes the opposition
The opposition probably included men too. Amazing probably doesn't even come close to describing her, tbf. There are no words good enough.
