CYCLING NOTES
AMBITION OF EVERY RACING CYCLIST IS TO BEAT THE 'HOUR' FOR 25 MILES RACE
Says "N"TACA”
To beat the "Hour" for a 25 miles Time Trial is the secret ambition of every racing cyclist who has not already done so. It is an object pursued with the determination shown by Galahad in his search for the Grail. In the case of Ron Beck it was not a secret, but a long-proclaimed target.
And on Sunday last, in winning the REME (C's Open 25 Time Trial, he achieved that ambition, with one of the best rides ever seen in the Colony, the second- fastest ever at the distance. He failed by only 16 seconds to equal the time of that master of the short-distance race, REMË's Brian Rylance, holder of the Colony record at 59-24.

PARADE
Sheer weight of numbers makes it almost impossible this week to start the column with the Spot of Honour that normally heads the Sports Parade, There are so many worthy claimants, men like cross-country runners Joyce and Alderton, cricketers Nash and Greenhalgh, boxers Grant and Carter, and soccer stars White ond Charksworth, that the Top Spot would fill all the space that is available to me.
So let us be a little unorthodox for a change and say "To as fine a week's sport as we have had in a long time, even if (and cricketers can look the other way here) vie- tory evaded some of our star sportsmen."
