Lemme see, there was this guy, Lemond...George, Greg.That's it! Greg Lemond won the World Championship and I was lucky enough to have a friend who was into cycling and got me interested. It was still a couple of years before I started riding. Clincher tires were just beginning to improve and there was no desire to play with glue and sew-ups, not that I could even afford it at the time. Bicycling mag, Bicycle Guide, Bicyclist and Winning were the journals of the day. Lemond started talking about spinning at a higher cadance (what the hell was that all about?!). Not many books were around. It was a cool time. RAAM was developing (Lon Haldamana sp? and Susan Noterangelo). 7-Eleven was more than a slurpy. Ahhh, the memories.
