bdmc Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Looking back on some of the top riders in Nationals what happened to Paul Rose from Sheffield. A good steady rider and very well mannered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanorbust Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) Yes, remember him turning up in the early 80s I think and was immediately challenging for awards. Alas haven't heard of him since, but it was mentioned on here some years ago that he was also a lion tamer (!) so I guess anything could have happened to him.

feetupsbetter Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 I remember Paul Rose being one of the best local riders, I think it would have been in the early 80's & he would probably have been in his late teens. His mum & dad were very involved in the sheffield & hallamshire club if I remember rightly. But I think he put trials on the back burner while he completed an engineering degree. A few years ago a work colleague mentioned his name - apparently now pretty handy with a set of golf clubs ! To have talent at one thing would be good enough for me .....

timp Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Paul rides a few trials still. And uses the same trials gear now that he did back then! Still tighter than most Yorkshire men could even dream of! He does play golf more though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanorbust Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Thanks, good to know he's still involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
