Ryan Sullivan, who is a former national champion, grew up on the streets of Evandale but has since moved to America.
He came home this year to attend the 38th National Penny Farthing Championships.
"When I was 10 or 11 I started doing the races, I grew up here in Evandale on the course, and I moved to America about 10 years ago but I try and sneak back when I can," Ryan said.
The last time he won the race was in 2014.
He said the event was fun for all involved.
"It's just a bit of fun, I race normal bikes too and this is just something you can jump in and do," Ryan said.
This year he was racing on a bike his dad Michael built.
"My father has actually built the one that I am racing on, most of the people race on reproduction bikes because the original penny farthings from 100 odd years ago are sort of brittle and old," Ryan said.
Ryan's father Michael is the only person to race in all 38 National Championships.
"I was only 35 when it started, I was quite competitive," Michael said.
"But it's been 38 years and I've slowed down a bit."
"As they say the younger I was the better I was."
He said he became hooked after his first ride.
My wife was involved in organising it in 83 and to get me on side they thought, we'll borrow a bike and Michael can ride," Michael said.
"I had ridden bikes as a kid and once I rode one I was hooked."
This year is the first time in 38 years, his wife, Di, hasn't been on the organising committee.
"She has stepped aside now but it's going to go on and like so many things the committee age and it's time for somebody else to come along and take the reigns," Michael said.
"It will change slightly, probably for the better I suppose you can't stay in the same mould all the time."
Over the course of his life Michael said he has built around 20 penny farthing bikes.
"I built them for the kids as they were growing up," he said.
"I'd build a nice sized bike and a year later it would be too small for them, then i'd build another one and it would be too small for them."
