Cycling Relay

Really "coming alive for '75" were members of the Gisborne Watties Amateur Cycling Club when they staged a relay style race from Gisborne to Wairoa (via Tiniroto) and back (through Morere). Each rider cycled about three or four miles (according to the terrain) and conditions were pretty good except for the heavily metalled section near Te Reinga.
