Very nice photo by the wonderful Pam Howlett, of Neil Ritchie in the Pursuit finals 1959.

"Tearing along the traffic-burdened thoroughfare with staring eyeball and reeking frame, this insane demon shoots past men,woman and children, with nothing to announce his coming or mark his passage save a faint hum and a curl of dust." Letter to a Hawkes Bay Newspaper dated 9 December 1898
