The relay packets were exchanged with lightning rapidity here to the riders of the second ten miles, who were off and out of sight in a few seconds. Krafts, the Bay City man, rode fully up to the expectations of his club mates, and though the road was in bad shape, made the ten miles in 27 min. 12 sec., which was fastest time and brought his club up from fifth to third position. The Acmes went back one place, while the Garden Citys and Olympics still held first and second respectively. The Imperials dropped from fourth to seventh, and the Alamedas clinched their mortgage on last place.

There was more trouble on the sixth relay, through and around San Jose, and it was here, on their own ground, that the Garden City Cyclers "played in hard luck" and lost exactly two minutes.
Their man Navlet started on even terms with Davis, the Olympian, and all went well until a stray dog attempted to cross the road in front of him. Navlet struck the dog, and over he went, suffering a terrible fall. His wheel was wrecked, and he was badly bruised, but he mounted his trailer's wheel when the latter reached the scene, and bravely finished his ride.
It was a bad accident and the Garden Citys feel that they practically lost the race there in their own town. What happened to the dog cannot be gleaned from the accounts of the trouble.
The Bay Citys did not do well on this relay. In fact, Davis' riding was so speedy he left the others all the way from one to five minutes behind. The Alamedas were now 15-1/2 minutes behind. Cardinell of the California Club did not ride well, and his club dropped back to ninth position. His time, 35 min. 05 sec., would indicate that he must have met with an accident, though none was reported.
At the end of the sixth some claimed that Raynaud, the Bay City man, passed his packet to Vincent outside of the limit of 100 yards, inside of which the rules of the association prescribe it must be exchanged. Later it was found that the marks were incorrectly placed and that Raynaud had done right, so that the protest the Garden Citys afterward filed on that ground will have to be disallowed.

CROSS COUNTRY CLUB. - A Race Arranged Between Pedestrians and a Wheelman. - The San Francisco Call, 27 May 1892

=== CROSS COUNTRY CLUB. ===
==== A Race Arranged Between Pedestrians and a Wheelman. ====
Sunday morning a large party comprising members of the Gentlemen's Cross Country Club went over to Fairfax, from which station they walked to Camp Taylor by way of Larsen's Inn, the Bolinas bridge and Lagunitas Creek. At Lagunitas station the party divided, and one section continued their tramp on to Fairfax. The latter party covered a distance of nearly 30 miles. Larsen's Inn was made in 1 hour and 45 minutes, Lagunitas station was reached at 3 o'clock and Fairfax at 6 o'clock. The trail along the ridge is overgrown with shrubs and in some places is completely lost, and the pedestrians several times lost their bearings and had to fight their way through the jungle. The club last year made a record of 1 hour and 40 minutes from Fairfax, past Liberty Farm to Larsen's Inn, which time has never been beaten. On the occasion mentioned the cross country team of the Olympic Club started from Ross station, having 20 minutes' earlier start, and arrived at the summit several minutes after the Gentlemen's Club.
There exists a friendly rivalry between the members of the G. C. C. Club, and when on their outings impromptu contests of speed and endurance are the natural result. Several members of the club ride bicycles, and one of the wheelmen has issued a challenge to the pedestrians to race him from Sausalito via Mill Valley and the summit of Mount Tamalpais, thence to Larsen's Inn and then to Camp Taylor. The country to be traversed is steep and rocky in many places, while in others the brush and ferns are so dense as to be almost impassable, and it will be necessary to carry the wheel overhead for a considerable distance. The rider in question rides an "ordinary," never has used a "safety,” and proposes the contest to demonstrate that the "ordinary,” backed by pluck and endurance, will "go" places where many men would fail to get through on foot even with the assistance of hill-climbing shoes and alpenstocks.

CYCLE RACING MEN ON OREGON PATHS. - Otto Ziegler and Other Flyers to Be Seen in Competition in the Northwest. - The San Francisco Examiner, 12 Aug 1897

=== CYCLE RACING MEN ON OREGON PATHS. ===
==== Otto Ziegler and Other Flyers to Be Seen in Competition in the Northwest. ====
The field of operations of the crack cycle racing men of this district will change on Saturday, when the best of the local men will ride at Portland.
Allan Jones and D. E. Whitman have been on the ground for several days, and last night Otto Ziegler, the Coast champion, accompanied by Hardy Downing, John E. Wing and trainer John Dermody left for the north. They will accompany President A. P. Swain of the California Associated Clubs, who will also have in his party Percy R. Mott, one of the fastest amateurs on the Coast.
The men will race at Portland on Saturday and Sunday. Liberal purses have been offered, which are expected to attract the best men in the Northwest. Following this meet the riders will have two days racing at Tacoma, the following Saturday and Sunday. Other meets are in course of arrangement, which will engage the attention of the riders until early in September, when they will return here for the Admission Day events. President Swain will spend a fortnight in the north securing members for the California Association and organizing sub-divisions. From present appearances British Columbia will be invaded, and if so it will precipitate trouble between the Canadian Wheelmen Association and the League of American Wheelmen. Its officials will recognize the rulings of the strongest body. Chairman E. G. Dorr of the League Racing Board in Washington has resigned, and is now associated with a new organization known as the Tacoma Race Promoting Association. This will operate under sanction of the California Associated Cycling Clubs.
Washington has already contributed twenty-five members to the association, and many more are looked for as a result of the visit of the riders and officials from this State.
Captain Robert Black, Golden Gate Cycling Club, is arranging a five-mile road race, to be held over the San Leandro-Haywards course early in September. A large entry is expected.
George Michling, the wrestler and strong man of the Olympic Club, has finally joined the ranks of the wheelmen. His friends predict that he will make a good rider.
A hundred wheelmen who went to Stockton on Saturday claim they have a grievance against the transportation company. Before the boat, on which they were to return, was fully loaded the gangplank was hauled in and riders with tickets were left on the wharf. Some men were compelled to stay over until the next boat, twenty-four hours later. One rider from Vallejo who jumped on board was handcuffed and confined in a stateroom until late at night. The matter will be investigated by the proper cycling officials.

CYCLING CLUBS AT SAN JOSE - Six Hundred Wheelmen in the Parade - Los Angeles Herald, 10 Sep 1895

=== Six Hundred Wheelmen in the Parade ===
==== 6000 PEOPLE WERE THERE ====

====== The Half Mile Record Broken in the Remarkable Time of 1:01 - 600 Wheelmen Parade ======
Associated Press Special Wire
SAN JOSE, Sept. 9. - The California Associated Cycling clubs captured San Jose at an early hour this morning and held full sway until dark. It was the annual meet and parade. The parade, in which about six hundred wheelmen took part, made a grand display. Clubs participating were the Acme of Oakland, Bay City Wheelmen, California Cycling club, Crescent Athletic club, Berkeley Crescent Road club, Imperial Cycling club, Los Angeles Wheelmen, Pathfinders, Olympic club, Reliance club, San Francisco Y. M. C. A., Santa Rosa Wheelmen, San Jose Road club and the Garden City Cyclers. In addition a large number of unattached wheelmen participated, including several ladies. There were tandems galore, the Olympics having nine in line. A quad, with the riders in white suits, was a conspicuous feature.
The parade was halted in front of the court house, where Mayor Austin delivered an address of welcome, and the procession was photographed. Two prizes were offered, valued at $75 each. The Acmes captured first, for the largest number in line, and the California Cycling club was given second, for the best appearance.
In the afternoon 6000 people gathered at the Garden City Cycling club's track and witnessed the races. The Imperials carried off the honors of the day, Byrne of that club breaking the world's half mile competition record for class A, time 1:01. There were a few accidents. Russell Cushing was spilled near the start in the mile open; he received some severe bruises and was badly scratched. In the half mile scratch, W. C. Kratz was crowded over the embankment and fell about fifteen feet, but escaped any injury; notwithstanding he quickly remounted and made a game fight to retrieve his lost time; he finished a good third and was loudly cheered. Following are the results:
One mile, handicap, class A - John Wing, 125 yards, won; Ackerman, 30 yards, second; time, 2:14 4 5.
One mile, scratch, paced by tandem, class B - Jones won, Long second; time, 2:2 44 5.
Mile tandem - Declared off.
Half mile, scratch, class A, paced by tandem - Byrne won, H. H. Squires second; time, 1:01.
Two-thirds of a mile, handicap, class B - Delmas, 65 yards, won; Foster, scratch, second; time, 1:24 1-5.

CYCLING UP TO DATE. - The San Francisco Examiner, 22 Apr 1894

=== CYCLING UP TO DATE. ===
==== The Californias Will Have a Century Run Around the Bay To-Day. ====
Fairly good dressing rooms have been fitted up for the wheelmen in the bottom of the grand stand out at the Fair track, and Peter McIntyre, an old athlete, who has charge of the track, looks after them.
Michael F. Dirnberger Jr. and Julien P. Bliss the famous record breakers, left Chicago for the Coast last evening, accompanied by Manager Atkins and their trainers.
There will be about 200 entries for next Saturday's Midwinter Fair races. This will include most of the racing men in north California.
The first century club run of the season will be carried out by the California Cycling Club today, and members of other clubs have been invited to take part. The 100-milers will meet at the ferry for the 7 o'clock boat and take broad gauge train to Fruitvale, where the start will be made. The Reliance Club wheelmen have a run to San Jose, too, leaving their clubhouse in Oakland at 8 A. M., sharp, while many other wheelmen will take the ride down that side of the bay, so that the road will be full most of the forenoon. The Californias and those who wish to do the 100 miles will keep right on and come home on this side of the bay by way of Redwood City and San Bruno road.
The Reliance boys will banquet at the Vendome after riding to San Jose and will entertain the Garden City Cyclers' board of officers, after which they will have a run about "The Springfield of the Coast," visit the bicycle track and call on the Garden Citys and the Road Club.
The next regular meeting of the Olympic Club Wheelmen will be held Tuesday evening. The Olympics have a club run today to Salinas and beyond.
A number of local flyers are doing some training on the Midwinter Fair track, but find the rough surface a great drawback. A coating of clay or a little dirt and cement would put a good surface on the track.
Otto Ziegler is in town to-day trying the new track. He will go to Stockton to train after Saturday with the Rambler team. 
GATES.

CYCLISTS. - Election of Officers of a New Bicycle Club. - Oakland Tribune, 23 Sep 1886

=== CYCLISTS. ===
==== Election of Officers of a New Bicycle Club. ====
Last evening the following bicycle riders met in the Hall of Records for the purpose of organizing a new bicycle club in Oakland: Guy Earl, C. L. Tisdale, Robert Edgar, R. H. Magill, Jr., L. Sears, W. W. Haralson, W. J. Bowman, L. A. Kelly, Jr., Charles Biederman, Frank Blinn, Julias Lutgen, Alex. Ireland and J. D. Arkison. An election of officers resulted in the following choice: President, Guy Earl; Vice-President, C. L. Tisdale; Secretary and Treasurer, Robert Edgar. Road Officers - R. H. Magill, Jr., Captain, and L. Sears, Lieutenant. A uniform was adopted, which consists of dark shoes, navy-blue knit pants and coat with initial letters of club on coat-collar, white flannel shirt with blue trimmings and black helmet.
It is the intention of the club to limit the membership to those who will become active members and who have made a record in bicycling contests. It is their ambition to become the crack club of the State, and it will be the first recognized League club in California. The club has not adopted any name, but will probably do so at the next meeting, which will be held on the first Wednesday in October.
