Its not what you ride, just ride it

Yeah I came across him in to the last few miles. He was pretty chatty and was having a great time entertaining the other riders. Pretty funny guy whoever he was.

My favorite sighting was a guy with NO shoes on a vintage 3 speed with panniers & a handlebar basket wearing cutoffs & a t-shirt. I felt like such a wimp. What with my lightweight bicycle and SHOES and all...

This guy did the Sulphur Springs ride as well. He lives in Oklahoma and just gets up early and decides that he wants to go ride somewhere. He was very interesting to talk to. I would hate to see what he is capable of with a road bike and shoes.
