Young Men's Christian Association Cycling Club of Oakland - E. C. Brown, W. H. Seaver.

AMONG THE WHEELMEN - Track to Be Used in the Tournament. - A Matter of Interest to Racers. - San Francisco Chronicle, 19 Jan 1895

About the best club run of the season, full of original schemes, was that of the Young Men's Christian Association clubs last Saturday to Niles. It was the result of plans made by Dr. J. S. Brooks and A. P. Chipron of this city and Rev. F. H. Maar of Niles, all interested deeply in cycling. The local riders went down in the afternoon in time to enjoy a swim in the canyon. Supper was served in the open air and was followed by a big campfire, around which gathered 105 wheelmen from San Jose, Oakland and the city clubs. After speeches and singing and a general jolly time refreshments in the form of cakes, sandwiches, flapjacks and coffee were served. The Niles brass band furnished music, and a display of Japanese lanterns and redlights added to the attractiveness of the occasion. A similar run is to be taken monthly by the club.

The San Francisco Bicycle Track Association will meet next Friday evening at the rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association. There is still some talk of the association holding a race meet at Central Park, to increase its treasury if possible. The meet could be held on a Saturday afternoon and would probably be successful.
