Nice. It's a lot better looking than the current jersey.

You want throwback?

1977. Not bike related though.


My sweetie still looks the same. I don't.

July 4, 1983. I take the tag-off from our team's runner to begin the 20-mile bike leg in a team triathalon, while my canoeist member holds the bike up. Yes, I still have the Colnago and the jersey. Yes, we won. See the arms on that canoeist?

Extra points if you can still wear it!

Somehow, I've kept my girlish figure and roughly same net weight since about 1978.

Here's me in 1975, 1997 and 2012:

Shoot, thought it might be readable.

Highlights; 45 riders, 10 were girls, some riders all the way from Chicago.
Total cost of the tour including meals, equipment shuttle and sag wagon...$2.75
Next year, 1967 tour will not exceed $3.00
Can't wait for TOSRV!

Going out for a training ride now!

Bring on the Portsmouth Brewing Co.!
Sunday is always easier after carb loading.

Firstly, I don't know what an OG is. Secondly, the guy on the far right, the ex-husband of my then girlfriend, was building bikes at the time. He and his girlfriend had nicer frames, my GF had something a little less nice, and I was fortunate that he had one more available. There was a thread somewhat recently, about the early days of mountain biking, and I posted that pic. Somebody here knew the name of the guy who won that race, but I can neither remember it, nor find the thread.

I think he was asking if any of the original downhill MTB guys like Charlie Kelly or Gary Fisher are in your pic.
