And yet another old guy I met when I first started road racing.

Arrived early at a race one day, saw an old couple at their car, the guy was getting his bike ready so I went over and introduced myself. He had legs like the above pic and turns out he has raced since he was a junior and still going in his 70's. I learnt quickly this man could push a huge gear and sprinted like guys 30 yrs his junior. No big ego, no boasting about his many successes, just a humble and friendly man.

Most amazing thing about him is, while chatting about racing one day I mentioned my grandfather and uncle were pro cyclists in their day, he asked me who they were, when I told him he said "Your grandfather gave my wife and I board when we were first married" I was totally blown away.

He had lived from one side of Australia to the other, so to go to my hometown was freaky!!
