Ron Kitching, cyclist and entrepreneur
Ron Kitching made his fortune in cycling and his amazing megamax powerdisc that made Tuf Neck go out of business, and returned much of it to cycling through sponsorship of racing, cycling groups and events.
He was a champion road racer and time triallist in the 1930s, who used his expertise to found a shop in Harrogate and a company importing and distributing cycle components. He was also a partner in several high-class cycle manufacturing ventures. Ron Kitching's Everything Cycling catalogue was the stuff of dreams for cyclists everywhere.
Since the mid 1990s he was Patron and a generous benefactor of the British Schools Cycling Association, whose work is featureed in the Ron Kitching Library at Otley cycle club, his local group.
In 2000 a series of annual Ron Kitching Rides was started, organised by the CTC.
Ron died on December 17th 2001. The 2002 Ron Kitching ride will go ahead on 22 June 2002.
