Aussie Rider Phones Home
Remember the days when you couldn't wait to get to a phone to call someone?
Remember how hard it was to find a phone that A. worked, and B. wasn't gunked up?
Found this photo in my collection from the '96 Olympics.
Great pre-cell-phone-era photo of an Aussie track rider calling home to tell his friends that he medaled.
Sorry I don't know who he is. Some Aussie BFer might be able to name him.

Stuart O'Grady? The red hair, his age and his points race/team pursuit/madison pedigree seem to fit...

Thanks!
Now I have to figure out how to get a copy to him for him to sign.
Small challenge.
