I won the Sunapee Road Race, was second in Coupe Suroit, have nearly 20 district champonship medals, lined up next to Roger Young in Northbrook, raced SuperWeek back when it was STILL a week, wrenched 4 Coors Classics and 2 Tours de l'Abitabi, and saw George Mount sprint for 2nd place in Montreal. My Hour Record is still 1:09.41. I just can't handle not having a 'wheel'. e-RICHIE chester, ct (sorry-slow night in paradise...)
