Old Old Young

It's January.

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.

Big Tex beats Steven Swart at the line at the Fitchburg circuit race. Damn, that was a wall and a half.

Ah the memories - my first bike race (as a spectator), sitting on a relative's front porch about 100 yards from the finish line of that circiut race, like everyone else having no idea we were witnessing future greatness.
Well done!
