Leung Yu-yee put up a fine initial effort on an ordinary machine, as his time included a stop to replace a derailed chain.

Continuing the run, Stanley turn was passed at 12.20 p.m., and by this time the rain showed signs of ceasing. On rapidly drying roads, the party gained Aberdeen at 12.50 p.m.. collecting an additional contingent en route. A halt for refreshments de- tained the riders 40 minutes in the fishing village, before resumption of the final section. One party cluded the run vin Jubilee Road to Kennedy Town, the other climbing up to Pokfulam in order to disperse in Bonham Road at 2 p.m.
