The much talked-of 100-mile ride of the California Division, League of American Wheelmen, took place June 1st and proved a great success. The route was from this city straightaway to Hollister. Sixty-five bicyclists started with the intention of completing the full distance, and of this number fifty-three finished. The start was made from Twenty-first and Mission streets at 5:22 A. M. It was intended to start at 5 o'clock sharp, but the ever present photographer consumed some time in getting a picture. Between San Francisco and Millbrae, seventeen miles, Captain Meeker took his men along at such a pace that they regained the twenty-two minutes lost at the start so that Millbrae was reached on schedule time. The hotel man was quite unprepared for such a crowd at breakfast, and some of the riders suffered in consequence. The pace to San Jose seemed rather fast and took a great deal out of some of the riders. Dan O'Callaghan and others turned it up at San Jose.
