Mike had an orange Viner back then. He had just gotten into riding seriously around that time. I took him out to Catabwa, and he was toasted. Which was a bad thing, because we met a very friendly Great Dane on 311 that probably would have walked back to Blacksburg with us at the pace we were going. I sent Mike on ahead and finally managed to out sprint the dog on a downhill. It's funny seeing the pictures of Mike back in the '70s. Those were some fun times, we didn't know anything. They actually managed to get Bruce Springsteen to go to the store for a beer after a free concert he gave at Tech. It was after hours, I missed it.
