Manuscript minute book of the Walla Walla Cycling Club of Manchester, England, kept from 1897 to 1903. The volume notes the activity of the club and includes the record of the club's foundation. After an initial section of club rules and procedures the entries alternate between monthly meetings and the records of club runs. The runs began at the club's headquarters at the Rechabites Hall in the city center and took members to local towns and beauty spots, including Prestbury, Latchford, Budworth, Knutsford and Buxton, most at a distance of around 30 miles, making the customary round trip around 60 miles. The club run records are brief but informative, describing the weather, the riders, the state of the roads, accidents, and destinations. - Subject Terms:
