Some kids went to Jamborees, others found cycling
Remember...
- When Mike Erbe went to clipless pedals on his Ciocc
- When Ed Fuji used a 55 ring
- When you first used index shifting
- When you finally hung on the Tuesday / Thursday ride
- When Mike Batin pulled that guy from the drivers side window
- When James Stanton crashed on San Juan grade and sparks flew from his cleats
- When Mt. Larry dropped us all on the Dell on his mt. bike
- When Shaney Shane took a pull from Pescadero to Davenport
- When Brian Picket was unstoppable
- When we used to do Rampart on the Tuesday / Thursday rides
- When Kim Davis would win the Beach Street sprint
- When Freddy would ride his Bianchi
- When Daryl would solo Larkin
- When Brent Marks would bring Steve Larson on the ride
- When Dougie's pedal broke Erbe's helmet
- When Lance knocked on Aaron Peter's door during a ride
- When Shapleigh was even skinnier than he is now
- When AC would ride with a backpack to hold his Bell V-I pro helmet
- When no one rode with phones
- When no one rode with computers
- When the flight saddle came out
- When we had Vetta Corsa helmets
- When Pat Gilbert's snot would hang on his stem
- When no one knew how heavy their bike was
- When Mike Engleman lived in town
- When Ed Price was wicked fast
- When Drew Holderman worked at the Spokesman
- When the Spokesman was on Cedar st
- When Hugh had his dog 'Campy'
- When Rob Parsons shaved his legs
- When the National Cycling League formed teams
Thanks for sharing this Jake, epic times and I miss em dearly..
