00:03And I'm actually racing. I sort of have that little bit of bitterness. I think you need to have this.
00:10That little bit of needle there, this thing that drives you on to be first.
00:15There was only one cyclist who was known to everybody in the world and the name was Belle Burton.
00:22She's like a Greek legend. Is it possible that someone that prolific could have existed?
00:26Just this incredible Yorkshire story. She was the trailblazer in women's sport.
00:35Beryl has done things that no one has done before or since. Beating a men's world record.
00:42Beryl Burton once again leaving her rivals for dust.
00:46Overtaking 99 men in a race.
00:48She loved beating the men and she did beat the men.
00:53We were second class citizens. It's the men. All the men and the women didn't get a look in.
00:58We're in a society now where inequality has culled out very quickly.
01:02Beryl would never have had that.
01:10Once I got old, you know, I was racing against my mum, who was the best in the world.
01:14And then you felt as though you had to win.
01:18The element of competition between daughter and mum, it just wouldn't go away.
01:24Denise beat her mother. Beryl wouldn't recognise her.
01:28She wouldn't shake hands with me.
01:32She went on too long. Her health was failing.
01:36But there was no way she had any intention of stopping cycling.
01:40That was her life.
01:41It was about that conviction and that dedication.
01:45And there is a cost to it.
01:46How much longer do you intend to carry on?
01:48Well, this is a question we never know the answer of until it comes, isn't it?
