A more recent photo is from the 2019 Hilly Hundred bike ride, in Bloomington, Indiana. I'm the tall guy in full rain gear (it was 50F and rained all day), with with former Marines Allan "NoMadMax" on my left and that former B.F. fellow (who saw some action in the Lebanese civil war) on my right. Dale "Speedevil" was on the ride too. As jarheads, we felt that we shouldn't be stopped by a bit of cold rain when the Marine Corps' main function was amphibious assaults. I would have expected Dale to have better sense, though.
