EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the excitement and spirit of competition at the Marlow Gymkhana Obstacle Race in 1901. The event, held in the picturesque English town of Marlow, showcases the determination and agility of the participants as they navigate a challenging obstacle course on their bicycles. Dressed in their Edwardian finery, the women riders display grace and poise as they maneuver their bicycles over hay bales, through hoops, and over wooden barriers. The summer sun casts a warm glow on the lush grass, adding to the idyllic scene. The Marlow Gymkhana was a popular annual event during the early 1900s, attracting large crowds from the local community and beyond. These competitions provided an opportunity for people to enjoy the outdoors, socialize, and engage in friendly competition. The obstacle race was just one of many events held during the gymkhana, which also included horse riding, athletics, and other bicycle races. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the thrill of sport and the determination of the competitors during the Edwardian era. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of outdoor activities and the spirit of friendly competition that continues to inspire people to this day.
