Davis Phinney's Biceps

When people hear the name Davis Phinney, they think of that crash, Connie, Taylor, 7-11, and recently the fight.

Me? I think of all of those, but in the end i still marvel at his biceps.

With that in mind, I present to you some additional photographs from the 1992 Fitchburg Longsjo Classic.

The cycling world sleeps.

The diligent train.

The lazy gain weightt.

Me? I gain weight, and dig through old boxes of pics.

On that note, some images I took at the 1992 Fitchburg Longsjo Classic, of a young triathlete turned cyclist, from Plano, Texas who was training for the Barcelona Olympics.
