Quiz time!

Person and year (+/- one year):



Bonus points if you can guess where this was taken.

Hard to tell from the photo, but I bet most of you would get it right.

Yup that's Otto, but you're a bit off on the year.

1976.

Where might it be taken? Think BIG race. (then I'll show you the whole pic)

Correct! That will give you an additional 5 points and so according to my calculations, that will put you in the lead for the overall competition!!

Congratulations!!

Check the site, man.

More coming ... I'm told.

So, yeah, Otto owned a Sentry food store on Downer Ave right where the S/F is. I think it's a CVS now. So, if you're the president of the USCF and you want to put on a race, why not in front of your store, eh?

Don't know where else to stick this, so here's where it goes. Rumor has it, and mind you that I'm on the end of the line for these kind of things, that Johan Bruyneel and company had his eyes on Matt Busche for next year's Radio Shack team. Just what the terms were or what they were looking for, and why Busche went with Kelly Benefits, I have no idea, but to let you folks know that when you're out there racing, people are watching!

It was during the Tour of Utah when Axel Merckx noticed him.

Are you saying the directors of pro teams watch some slow ass cat 4 hacks race?

Loberg tells me Busche is signed with radioshack officially. That's a big step up from iscorp in less than a year.

How cool is this:

https://velonews.com/article/99304/fr...da-pro-cycling

Frankie Andreu to direct Team Kenda Pro Cycling
Published: Oct. 16, 2009
Press Release

CLEVELAND, Ohio (October 16, 2009) – After its first season as a UCI Continental (Pro) Team, Kenda Pro Cycling continues to grow and expand, welcoming Frankie Andreu on board next season as director sportif, and Gear Grinder, a cyclist-specific casual clothing company as the new presenting sponsor.

After twelve years as a professional cyclist (1989-2000) for America’s top teams – 7-Eleven, Motorola, and USPS - Andreu has worked as a director for top American teams (e.g., Toyota-United and Rock Racing) in addition to commentating for Universal Sports and Versus. He also has an elite coaching program and engages in motivational speaking all across America.

...


Another boost to the program is the addition of new presenting sponsor, Gear Grinder. Along with the partnership with Paul Weaver, co-founder of Gear Grinder apparel, came the recruitment of Chad Hartley, James Stemper, and Rob White from Weaver’s Gear Grinder Elite Team, a dominant presence in the Mid-West last season. Hartley, who came back from a successful surgery to repair his iliac endofibrosis to dominate the Tour of America’s Dairyland, and Stemper, who won Superweek’s Best Amateur prize, will be added to the pro roster, while White will join the elite ranks for 2010.

...

Team updates are available at www.kendaprocycling.com.


Plus, I was just reading on Stemper's seldomly updated blog, that he's moving to AZ in November.

CBR is reporting that ToAD is back for 2010. A check of their webpage confirms. June 17 - 27th.

Awesome.

Yes it is! Lets just say 2010 will be even better! New courses added, some subtracted.....I have details, but it's a little hush hush for a bit yet. But the Milk Marketing Board is still on for a title sponsor, so it will remain the ToAD for next year! Yay for Chocolate Milk!
