I started racing a year too late. 1976. First club races only but got my license to race the Maine International that August. Bought my Fuji Professional the next year and rode every race I could get to without a car. That fall, my head injury, then a final season of racing where I rode much smarter races but didn't have the form. Left racing, had the Mooney built and sold the Pro; a bike so quick steering it was really only fit as a race bike (that was quick enough to get me through a whole bunch of Cat 3/4 crashes unscathed! Thank you, bike!) I still fit in my '77 custom club jersey that I wore for all of my hardest races.
