General notes

Additional information provided by Ann White: Bob and Charlie rode first, along the lower part of the Coorong road, then Syd and Bert rode the next part. Bicycles won (on handicap) because over the rough, unmade roads, in rough, steep or boggy areas they were able to carry their bikes.
