Rob Parsons - Bicycling Hall of Fame class of 2012

Santa Cruz county cycling legend Rob Parsons will be inducted into the Bicycling Hall of Fame. Rob will be in great company, check out the names below. I believe he still holds the record for consecutive wins of Tour of Nevada City Classic with 5. Rob was so far ahead of his time with his interval work and the mind body connection before it was in vogue. Mama WÜleur and I plan on going to the event this November in Davis. See official news release below for tickets. Congratulations Rob and family!
