Cyclists' Weekly Run
(By "Sprocket") The weekly organised run for Otaki road cyclists was held over the local circuit, Post Office-Tas-man Beach-Rangiuru Road-Post Office, this time three complete laps being encompassed. The flrst bunch of riders comprised R. Bartosh, W. Walsh, G. Julius and E. Walsh. Following at a four-minute break were R. Hornig, D. Smith and Chum. Blomfield. The limit bunch completed the flrst lap in nine minutes, with the next bunch two minutes behind. The end of the second lap saw the limit men complete in 21 minutes, the next bunch taking 18 minutes for the two laps and being just one minute behin'd. At this stage Julius and E. Walsh were riding strongly and teaming together very well, as were Blomfield and Smith. In the last lap the latter pair just overhauled the limit bunch, a great sprint home resulting in the. very fit Blomfield leading in E. ; Walsh, with Julius and Smith right: in the finish also. W. Walsh, Hor-I nig and Bartosh were not f ar away j and with a few more runs will bej in the firing line. Next weekendj will see a run from Otaki Post Qffice to Manakau and return.
