Dale says Eddy is fit and riding regularly.

That may be the case now, but his weight and fitness have yo-yo'd more over the last twenty years than my aunt Myrna, who's had ten babies during that period.

I had a lot of fun watching him take Merengue (sp?) lessons at a night club in Hamilton during the 2003 Worlds - he autographed a jersey for me (though not while dancing) and must have weighed close to 250 at the time...

I must say, he was very patient with autograph seekers, even while trying to eat his dinner with the Belgian Federation...
