[Whirl] So I've rejoined the list to see who is still around!

[Mark Matarella]

Missing the hills… Not yet. Once I get back in shape maybe. I used to do several ‘organized’ ride each year. Some tours and fund raisers. The toughest for me was a two day DC to Richmond ride that wandered out west then down. 86 miles the first day and 60 something the second. Pretty hilly by my standards. It was the first ride in the spring and I got to the point I trained for that knowing if I did well on that the rest of the year would be a breeze.

Oh man, I’m going to have fun with the mags and video. I really ate that stuff up and will gladly do so again. I remember a small thick book, Cycling Science I think it was. Grey and blue cover, it got into drive efficiency, aerodynamics, all kinds of nerdy fun.

 

I am busy cleaning and re organizing the garage to make safe room for double the number of bikes!

 HI Kathy. I thought I'd be the only one to still have the shirts! I have
that one and the one from 1999. I thought I had three but if so it got mixed
in with other stuff.

Hi all as well!

That was such a great event, Mark!

More later but I just got my Big Ride T-shirt out in honor of the (at least
for now) resuscitation of the list and thought I would post a pic:
