I got this photo today from a guy that collects “old” US PRO team bicycles.  He has a bunch of 7-11 bikes and has expanded his corral to Wheaties/Schwinn bikes.  All custom painted by Joe Bell.  He emailed me asking me exactly what components we rode on our bikes in 1988-89.  He said he found [...]

OK.  Haven’t been writing much about bike racing lately.  I’ve mainly been moping around the country trying to emulate a bicycle racer.  I raced in Superweek some.  Never finished worse than 20th.  Never better than 10th.  In the Chicago $$$$ Criterium, I was 2 places out of the $$.  Then Tour of Kansas City.  All [...]

Drove up to Cable Wisconsin to spend the week at Dennis Kruse’s compound. We buildt a garage/apartment up there a couple years ago and it is an awesome place to sleep. On Monday, it was only 54 degrees when we rode. Something close to 50 degrees cooler than the races a couple [...]

OK. I hate watching races I think/know I should be racing. I love watching racing in general, but when I’m supposed to be competing, something goes haywire in my brain and I mildly short circuit. That pretty much sums up the last two days up in Minneapolis. The two days are [...]
