Back in the day I rode "with" 7-11 and Coors Light the day before the U.S. Pro Road Race Championship. IIRC, it was '86 or '87. When I say with, I mean behind. A rag tag bunch of locals riding at the edges of our abilities to stay on the back of professionals who were cruising at about 23 mph and chatting. Quite an experience. Missed a chance to ride with Armstrong and the Motorola squad in the 90s. I was on the side of an MUP screwing my bottom bracket cup back in by hand when they came by. I never forgave the mechanic who installed the new one for me earlier that week.
