Punjabipal Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I met a guy today named Les Gibson , who said he rode for Wimbledon in the 1930's, under the name Les Dearth. He is 99 years of age. I have no reason to doubt him. He appeared to know the riders of the day. Anyone know of him and if he was any good.
