Biography
Horn was born to a blacksmith in a family of six siblings. Among them two became national champions: Cyril in speed skating and cycling, and his younger brother Dennis in cycling. At the age of 12 Cyril started working with his father, making horseshoes for the British Army, and later, in the early 1920s took up skating and cycling. In 1944–45 he bought a small farm in Outwell.
Cyril was the British champion in track cycling at the British National Individual Sprint Championships in 1937.[3]
