Three Generations Of Riders

Recommended Posts

Following on from the thread regarding fathers and sons who rode it did get me thinking of grandfathers who have competed. I can only come up with Charlie (Grandfather), Bob (Father) brothers John & Eric also rode and sons of Bob Martin & Paul Dugard. I remember reading sometime ago that Martin's son dabbled in the sport also...so that would actually make it four generations!

I guess that at a stretch Neil Street being father-in-law to Phil Crump and therefore Grandfather to Jason may qualify? I claim special dispensation for that one!

No need for special dispensation...

Jason's father (Phil) rode and so did his grandfather (Street) - that's three generations from Jason's perspective!

Certainly is FOUR generations. Martin's son Kelsey was runner up a couple of years ago in the GB Youth Champs and rides in the NL for the Isle of Wight.

Allott, Allott & Allott.

 

All the best

EDIT: Arnie beat me to it by seconds :D

 

In this case, seconds is Allott...!!
