4 4 25 Bev May Bev first became interested in cycling in 1958 when her brother took up the sport. There had been women cyclist s before Bev but they had never been allowed to ride with the men. This all changed when Bev got her chance to show the guys what she was made of. During a novelty day held by the Waipa Wheelers, Bev not only took part in the race against the men her age but then went and beat them. This inspired Bev to want to race against the men every week. Only one problem, women weren t allowed to race with the men. The blokes weren t having a bar of it. Bev s persistence paid off and in 1960 she became the first women in NZ to take out a racing license. The men put out a petition to try and ban Bev from racing with them but thankfully for us, it failed. Bev competed for 28 years, becoming the fastest women in the 160km Mt Egmont (now Taranaki) race in 1966 in a time of 4 hours 54 minutes and winning the Morrinsville Open. Unfortunately, it was an accident that ended Bev s competitive days in It would probably be easier to list the body parts Bev didn t fracture. This hasn t diminished Bev s love of cycling or her contribution. Prior to that Bev had already been active in the administration side of the sport. She s been the club secretary at Morrinsville Wheelers longer, I imagine, than most people can recall. And in 1990 she started the Bev May s Women s Tour.
