Cairns Cycle Club Trials Set for November 24
The Cairns Cycle Club announces the next trials to select a team for the Queensland championship in Christmas. The event features a clash between Charlie Mackedie and Fon Clauss for aggregate honours, with Ron Clauss the strong club captain and key factor. Boo Ford is the chief danger to the leaders, while Mick Gauli misses due to holidays leaving Barry Thompson with weaker opposition. Len McFarlane, once a top north sprinter, recently won a Brisbane three mile reserve race in a burst finish, will be remembered for his famous late surges in Cairns.
