  1. In response to requests I have posted four old stories from the August
    1988 issue of Cyclops USA interspersed with updates on the Cyclops home
    page at http://home.pacbell.net/learnest/cyclops/. Here are the titles
    and summaries:

    What makes cycling grow?
    The number of cyclists is cyclic. The reasons are enigmatic.
    http://home.pacbell.net/learnest/cyclops/grow.htm

    Who will control cycling in 2001?
    USCF has held power for 47 years. Will there be a successor soon? [The
    answer turned out to be an ugly “Yes.”]
    http://home.pacbell.net/learnest/cyclops/2001.htm

    Officer Rupp, Living Legend
    Protecting the roads against cyclists is a tough job, but Rupp does it.
    http://home.pacbell.net/learnest/cyclops/rupp.htm

    Coors is safer than tea
    Alexi Grewal won a gold medal in cycling at the Los Angeles Olympics
    shortly after admitting that he took ephedrine during an international
    stage race. This was facilitated by U.S. Olympic Committee and cycling
    officials who had a conflict of interest that would not be fixed for
    another 16 years. A number of other political machinations were also
    involved.

    Please, don't confuse the Dumbarses with factual history.

    RIP, Officer Rupp. Your run-in with the law was a tale told well.

  4. Thanks for the articles Les. Brought back some fond memories of my
    stint in the NorCal/Nev peleton with SJBC.
