w. A. Searles Jr and r. J. Elliot OF the
Bay City Wheelmen made hard cycling
trip last Sunday, which as test of en-
durance is remarkable. They left here at
4 A. NJ, destined for Pescadero to meet a
friend, Mr.. Wakeman, who has been tour
ing in that vicinity awheel. Pescadero is
sixty three miles away, the last twenty
five miles being over the toughest kind of
hilly country, where walking was gen.
orally preferable to riding. They finally
got there, however, and after lunch and a
! short rest started homewards, not arriving
here until after 10 o'clock at night. The
last ten miles of the trip around the bay
road were made in very slow time, as it
was dark as pitch and they were COM
pletely tired out. Monday neither felt a
particle the worse for his long journey,
however.
The Outing Road Clubs trip for to-mor-
row will be a picnic run to Haywards
