New Record, Tired Tandem Mark Wellesley Bike Race

With the wind behind him, an American bike beneath him, and the members of Wellesley's Outing Club awaiting him, Werner Genieser '56 pedaled to the shores of Lake Waban in a record 46 minutes and 28 seconds in the Wellesley Bike Race Saturday afternoon.

Some 25 minutes later, two winded Yardlings arrived on their tandem to be first in their division, last in the race, but on time to witness the presentation of a silver bowl to the winner, and ribbons to the first three in the racing, touring, and American classes.
