Like a lot of men I grew up knowing "back when" he was taciturn and very matter of fact.
Not a lot of stories just a lot of "Here's how this works, why it does and what
you need to do."
He considered Road Racing a somewhat silly promenade with the inevitable Sprint to settle the issue. (
Real racing was on the track.)
The best advice that I ever had from a coach was before the start of my 1st Criterium race when he said: "Be there at the end."
Pretty well summed that up for the next several decades.......
