Mile Relay Run Endures Ruthless Weather Tests Pace
A New York despatch reports riders faced relentless wind and rain, delaying arrival until midnight after 108 hours with only nine hours of clear weather. Despite broken wheels and field detours, the group sustained an average ten mph overall, Buffalo-bound at nine and a half mph, outperforming Eastern riders on poorer roads. The 76 relays averaged 13.17 miles, from five and a half to thirty seven miles, with early lead but storms and rough Hudson River roads prevented the planned 66 hour, 15 mph ultimate pace.
