Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Blast from the past

I'm thinking this is circa 1988? My father just sent it to me with a bunch of other pics. I'm in the middle...

I still have this bike (or what's left of it) and can't believe how far forward we all seemed to have our brake hoods, even with the crit bars.

Man those were fun times. I think I still have this skinsuit

1988 sounds like a pretty good guess to me, judging by how old the helmets and bikes seem to be. Cool picture.

I think Oakley just came on the scene a year or two before...in Iowa at least!
