Cycling Club's 30-Mile Race

A graded handicap race over 30 miles, in which Neil Robinson was a starter, was held by the Gisborne Cycling Club. Robinson, a former member of the club, came down from Auckland to race, and support the club which is helping to raise funds to send the N.Z. team to Munich for the world championships in August.
