BECK CAPTURES INDIVIDUAL HONOURS IN THREE-DAY CYCLE RACE
By N'TACA
"Perhaps the most gruelling test of athletic ability in Colony Sport”. That was how Rediffusion's Sports Parade saw the Three-Day Cycle Race, which was held over the week-end on December 16, 17 and 18, three days of fierce, all-out battles for individual and team supremacy.
And the victors? Ron Beck, riding at his brilliant best, captured individual honours from a determined and able John Ellingham, while the REME cycling club repeated their team win of the last event, but with an even wider margin of victory.
