[[McFarland]] of San Jose was a close third, and others came straggling in at intervals. The time made by the Bay City Club for the 100 miles was 4 hours 56 minutes 12 seconds, which is 35 minutes better than the fastest time made last year. [[P. M. Lefevre]] of the [[Acme]] made the fastest time of any individual rider, covering the third relay in 24:39, which is the fastest time ever made in a relay race.

...

The third relay race showed hardly any difference in positions. [[R. Hammonds|Hammonds]] by fast riding brought the [[San Jose Road Club]] up two places. The leaders kept their same places, and the tail-enders theirs. Remarkably fast time was made over this relay, the slowest being 27 min. 32 sec. [[P. M. Lefevre|Lefevre]], Acme, rode the best, 24 min. 39 sec., while the Garden City, Olympic and Bay City men rode in 25 minutes and a fraction. This was the fastest relay of the course, no accidents happened to any of the men, and a fine road made the riding perfect.

=== ''REMEMBER WHEN...'' ===
Pedal pushers got the populace all steamed up over [[:Category:1896 annual 100-mile relay race|the 100-mile bicycle race around San Francisco Bay]], 'way back in the gay nineties? The sport of bicycling was then a real man's game, and two-wheel athletic events were not confined to the [[six-day race]] arenas. Wheelmen of the Oakland [[Acme Athletic Club]] started contesting with San Francisco teams in 1893, and returned the winner in a number of annual contests. The boys burned up the road, too. The races started at [https://goo.gl/maps/P2jE5dYzZMJHLWAL6 Third and Market Streets San Francisco], and the route lay via San Jose to [https://goo.gl/maps/L9Hmsn9sHRrS97Wq6 Twelfth and Broadway, Oakland].

Time for the first year's race was five hours, 48 minutes, 51 and two-fifths seconds. This photograph shows members of the [[Acme Club]] team which won [[:Category:1896 annual 100-mile relay race|the race in 1896]]. (Top) [[Joe Rose|JOE ROSE]]; (middle row left to right), [[E. W.
