One of my all time favorite bike racing heros was featured today in the local paper. It's a great story about a very cool and genuine guy.
The article mentioned that he won the points race in 1989. It must be the National Masters Championships held in Portland, Oregon. Ron asked myself and wife to keep track of his point standings and just shout out infield advice pertaining to the goings on. We were quite impressed with how he dominated the race and how effortlessly he was able to "lift it" whenever there was a need to. He won the race going away.
He is indeed a very nice fellow and we wish him all the best.
