He rides for a club called the "Sharks" or something like that. He finished ninth out of 40 in his age group 45+. This race was held in central Missouri I believe, He's headed to Europe soon to ride in some events there.

His club has officially designated him a "Contender" because he finishes in the top echelon, so he gets to wear the title and get the help, parts, bikes jock straps and so on from the sponsors.
He's in self actualization.

OZ,

He did ride in a three day event on the streets of St. Louis, He was caught up in a crash and DNF on one day, did OK on the other days. Not sure about Pics, have so many.
