Fix this textDunlop Road Race
Fix this textWarrnambool to Melbourne
Fix this textWOIN BY .1. WRIGHT
Fix this textV J
Fix this textAlt AST’S RECORD STILL STANDS.
Fix this textROADS HEAVY AND WET.
Fix this textDuring the last two months there
Fix this texthas been a considerable amount of ex-
Fix this textcit“ment throughout the Common-
Fix this textwealth and New Zealand over tlie
Fix this textTest Races held by tlie Dunlop Tyre
Fix this textCo. in the various States, great local
Fix this textinterest being felt in tlie races them-
Fix this text► res, and afterwards in the per-
Fix this textformance of their champion in the
Fix this textgreat battle of tlie road, which was
Fix this textdecided on Saturday, 20th August.
Fix this textThis annual struggle, which decides
Fix this textthe Road Championship of Australasia
Fix this textand carries the Blue Riband of tlie
Fix this textyear, is now world-famed and ranks
Fix this textwith the Paris-Bordeaux and P*>vis-
Fix this textRoubaix races held annually in
Fix this textFrance, It is the same distance as tlie
Fix this textlatter, but, of course, the roads
Fix this textcannot he compared—French chaussees,
Fix this textmarked on either side by long rows
Fix this textof poplars, are famous for their smooth
Fix this textand well-kept surfaces. Nevertheless,
Fix this textthe times recorded in the Dunlop Road
Fix this textRaces of 1903 and 1904 are distinctly
Fix this textbetter than those made by the French.
Fix this textEnglish, and German cracks who com-
Fix this textpeted in the Roubaix event.
Fix this textIn many respects the Australian race
Fix this textis ahead of its old world rivals. Here
Fix this textno pacing is allowed a distinctly
Fix this textbetter test of a rider’s grit and true
Fix this textpace; the race is a handicap one, thus
Fix this textgiving young riders a chance in the
Fix this textprize list; and, most important of all.
Fix this textthe "one man one machine” rule is
Fix this textstrictly enforced. Iu other countries
Fix this textit is a) nost impossible for a friend-
Fix this textless ou iider to win. because the men
Fix this textrepresenting the big trade organisa-
Fix this texttions ride the best machines, are pro-
Fix this textvided with the best pace, and have
Fix this textassistance at every stage of the course.
Fix this textIn Australia’s test the pooi rider has
Fix this textan even show with the petted crack;
Fix this textevery machine is sealed at the start
Fix this textand this numbered seal must be un-
Fix this textbroken when the rider passes the
Fix this textjudge. Sometimes, it must be ad-
Fix this textmitted. the rule is severe, as in tilt"
Fix this textcase of J. Arnst, who. fell and broke
Fix this texthis fork, but it certainly makes for
Fix this textimprovement in machine building.
Fix this textCareful arrangements were made
Fix this textthroughout tlie route for supplying
Fix this textcompetitors with food aDd drink of a
Fix this textsuitable kind and with a minimum of
Fix this textdelay. Bags were made with a
Fix this textdivision, hand, and check strap, so
Fix this textthat they could be taken from attend-
Fix this textant without dismounting; this also
Fix this textapplies to warm milk, which was so
Fix this texti, ueh liked by the men. New tins,
Fix this texthaving a closed top, but cut away like
Fix this texta moustache cup, enabled tlie rider
Fix this textto snatch his liquid in an easy and
Fix this textaccessible manner as he rode past.
Fix this textEvery precaution was taken in tlie
Fix this textpreparation of the food and milk by
Fix this textthe staff of Dunlop officials charged
Fix this textwith that duty. Milk had to lie kept
Fix this textat the proper temperature for sue
Fix this textcessive batches of riders, and the
Fix this textcelery (so highly relished by cyclists)
Fix this textwas cut up and placed in the bags
Fix this textjust before the riders were due at flic
Fix this textstation. Among the good things sup-
Fix this textplied were:—62 doz. bananas. 54 doz
Fix this textoranges, 7 doz. eggs. 14 loaves bread.
Fix this text56 lbs. muscatel raisins, 00 lbs. choco-
Fix this textlate, 41l lbs. specially made beef
Fix this textsausages. 12 I its. sugar. 10 lbs. "ltovril.
Fix this text1 gallon port wine, 60 bunches of
Fix this textcelery, 75 gallons milk.
Fix this textAll the providing and attendance
Fix this textin this as well as tlie State tests were
Fix this textdefrayed by the Dunlop Tyre Co., at
Fix this texta cost of, approximately, 16s. a head.
Fix this textThe cycle trade throughout Australia
Fix this textand New Zealand supported the con-
Fix this texttests most generously, and it is esti-
Fix this textmated that the total cost of the set
Fix this textof races culminating in Saturday’s
Fix this textdeciding event was fully £l,OOO.
Fix this textYear after year the entries, accept-
Fix this textances, and starters gradually and
Fix this textsteadily increase. Las. year 140 riders
Fix this textaccepted, and 105 faced the starter —
Fix this textthis was a world’s record. But this
Fix this texttime the figures are 203 entries, 153
Fix this textacceptances, and 125 starters. Out of
Fix this textthese, 75 completed the whole distance
Fix this textwithin 11 hours, as against 61 last
Fix this textyear, when 12 hours was the time
Fix this textallowed to win a certificate.
Fix this textSqualls of cold westerly wind and
Fix this textheavy showers of rain made matters
Fix this textgloomy the night before the battle, but
Fix this textnext morning the wind was easier,
Fix this textalthough rain was falling at the start.
Fix this textFor more than half the distance, how-
Fix this textever, tlie roads were inches deep with
Fix this textsticky mud, and, in some places, they
Fix this textwere swamps. Falls were numerous,
Fix this textand machines were partly wrecked as
Fix this texta result of the treacherous surface, but
Fix this textno rider suffered serious injury. Many
Fix this textused chains of half-inch pitch, and
Fix this textmost favoured the lighter type; as a
Fix this textresult there was a large proportion of
Fix this textbreaks owing to the presence of mud
Fix this texton teeth of gear wheels. Burton was
Fix this textspecially unfortunate in this way.
Fix this textbreaking his chain three times before
Fix this texta puncture made his chance hopeless.
Fix this textIt was dark in Warrnambool at ten
Fix this textminutes to six on Saturday morning
Fix this textwhen the Mayor of Warrnambool sent
Fix this textaway the limit men—Johnstone and
Fix this textGaynor (70 mins.). At intervals the
Fix this textbatches were despatched until, at 7
Fix this texto’clock, the scratch division, J. and R.
Fix this textArnst (N.Z.). Burton (Vic,), and Chap-
Fix this textpell (Vic.), left amid hearty cheers
Fix this textfrom the gathering of interested citi-
Fix this textzens present. The first six miles to
Fix this textAllansford was, as usual, in very bad
Fix this textorder, but the road improved some-
Fix this textwhat beyond Cudgee. At Garvoc (22
Fix this textmiles) there was a soft patch that
Fix this textbrought many down—one rider assert-
Fix this texting that he slid 25 yards in a sitting
Fix this textposition. Gaynor and Johnstone led at
Fix this textthis stage, but before Terang (30 miles)
Fix this textwas reached Gaynor was alone. Then
Fix this textMatson, who had started ten minutes
Fix this textlater, tackled him, and the pair en-
Fix this texttered Camperdown (43 miles) together,
Fix this textfollowed 15 minutes later by Fowler,
Fix this textBannon, and Wright.
