I’m indebted to the skilled persevering support crews, without which these results would not be possible. In an effort to ‘pay back’, I’ve crewed for John & Nancy Guth on part of the ADK 540, for Doug Levy on two ADK 540’s, as well as for team Operation Progress in RAAM. From 2007 – 2012 I have been a member of the support team for the Face of America Gettysburg to Washington bicycling event supporting battle damaged GI’s.
At 78, I feel very fortunate to be healthy enough to perform at the level I have, which brings to mind the statement “See’n what’s left”. One of the goals of our team and my solo events is to provide a target, challenge and inspiration for the younger riders. I look forward and honor those who will blow away our ‘senior’ records.
