CYCLING RECORD
12 MONTHS' RIDING In less than eight months Tommy Godwin, the English cyclist who is trying to break the world's annual Cycling record, has Covered 50,000 miles. The record stands to the credit of the Australian, Ossie Nicholson, who rode (52,657 miles during 1937. Nicholson did not reach the 50,000 miles mark imtil the end of October so Godwin by the end of August was well ahead of nis figures and if he maintains his form, should approach 75,000 miles by the end of December.
Another English rider, Bernard Bennett, also may beat Nicholson’s record for at the end of August he was only 2000 miles behind Godwin's figures.
