Transcontinental Relay Bicycle Race Planned From San Francisco to New York

A July relay race named WiesJournal-Examiner Yellow-Pillow Transcontinental Relay will run from San Francisco to New York. Backed by W. B. Henest and KG Stearns, with General Miles backing transport by bicycle, officials in Washington and the Army coordination aim to cover the continent by staged relay routes and stamps by postmasters to verify dispatch authenticity. The plan envisions riders traveling daybreak to dawn, crossing Nevada and California, then through Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and finally into New York with careful staffing and substitutes to prevent delays.
