..And 18 year old bicycle racer - Matt Johnson. We visited Seattle recently and I popped into a fantastic bike shop on Bainbridge Island and asked if anyone has every heard of a guy named Matt Johnson or Tim Peddie. Both shop employees stopped in their tracks and asked who wanted to know. I explained that the last time I saw Matt was on the podium in Bloomington Indiana. They said that he was living on a boat somewhere on the island. Matt caught David Bly and I on the last lap of our suicide mission breakaway at the National Road Race Championships that hot day in August 25 years ago. He was an alternate for the 92' Olympics for the TTT. Anyone know what Matt is doing these days?
