Do you have any cycling pictures of yourself from back in the day?

Seattle to New York in 1976 entering Alberta and on the Ice Fields Parkway. I'm the yellowhead on the left.
The title to this pic was "Ignoring A Great View".

Not sure if this is back far enough in the day, but this was back in 1997 on Cycle Oregon X. Noteworthy evidence of my luddite status:
T-shirt.
Crew socks.
Check out the bag. A canvas monstrosity held on (just barely) with bungee cords.

After seeing this question, I went ahead and bought a new Canon G1X camera to stick in a bike bag. I don't have any pictures of me on a bike from childhood, from club rides or races. In fact, I don't have pictures of any bikes from "back in the day" at all. I do have pictures of a Giant Yukon I owned about ten years ago. I have a couple different shots of a Fuji road bike, and my new Fuji Absolute2, and the cheap-o Nishiki I bought from Dick's Sporting Goods when I decided to try riding again after beating colon cancer. I've been a professional musician for years and I don't have all that many shots from performances or studio work. I guess I have always been the guy behind the camera.

Looking forward some good stuff from your new G1X!
PS: Congrats at beating colon cancer too.

Ok sorry but that's dorky...

The bike shop I raced for brought in a funny bike in 1985 which never sold. So we took it out for a spin.

Crossing the line in third in a citizens' class crit in Galesburg, IL, ca. 1985. The first and second place finishers had already showered and changed. It was the best placing I ever had.
The bike was an '84 Gitane Tour de France (one model below the team issue bike). Wolber Aspin tubulars, Modolo brakes, Ofmega drivetrain.

1976-- Leaving on my first long tour, a multi-week loop around Oregon that included the Oregon Coast. I did not realize at the time that it would become addictive. Just got back from our most recent tour last Friday, 37 years later.
Bike: Peugeot PX10. It had my "mountain gearing" on it; 53/40 chainrings and 14-24 rear cluster.

Don't have many pictures from back in the day, cycling or otherwise. This one doesn't go too far back, summer of 1999. Two week self supported solo tour of Ontario, shot on the shore of Lake Huron.

There was a pic in the local newspaper in Danville IL in 1987 taken during a club ride one Saturday. I wish I could find that
