Footnote: Ben Fitch
Over seventy years ago a Crows Nest lad distinguished himself by winning over 100 prizes in cycling road races. He raced throughout Australia from Warnambool to Warwick, Bundaberg to Roma and of course, in Crows Nest.
In 1915 he joined his fellow countrymen in France to fight in the first World War. Two years latter he was wounded badly enough to stop him from ever riding a bike again.
In honour of his feats, and in the romance of yesteryear, these trails are named after him.
