The former national rider in his cheapo bike came up fourth.. Not bad.. Its not the bike, its the cyclist! Take note of the lady on the far right, she was lapped at least one round before she could complete the ride.. Now, that's true grit!

This dude has gusto and bravado!

Great photos as usual... betcha in that last pic, he has a titanium lower leg, much lighter than a flesh-and-bone one... :)
