Eddie Mundy

Dear All

I'm writing with the very sad news that Eddie Mundy died earlier today.

Eddie was a member of Addiscombe CC for over 50 years, and a member of the Road Records Association committee for over 30. He was RRA President for 7 years, and Records Secretary for a similar duration.

In the 1950s, Eddie twice broke the RTTC Competition Record for 24 hours, and won the 24 hour Championship in 1952.

At a personal level, Eddie was a great supporter of my efforts at breaking cycling records, and could always be relied upon to either sit in a car for hours as an Observer, or to stand in Central London to witness a 'turn' at some ungodly hour of the day.

A great guy, who will be sadly missed.
