Greg Lemond grew up here, and Inga Thompson lived here for a long time when she was racing (might be a native, I don't know). I didn't ride with either of them in the sense that they came by my house and picked me up to climb Geiger Grade, but I encountered both on the road many times. I was in my early 30s, pretty fit, riding 200-250 miles a week, and Inga made me sob like a schoolgirl. Greg was just unreal. Far as I know, he still holds the record from U.S. 395 to Virginia City.
