To my shock, they still had all my info in there. Even had the last four [pitiful - all double digit placings, while Julie was busy winning points for her upgrade to cat 2] results from my earlier career. I updated my info and signed up for email race alerts. You can even print out a temporary license on the spot and race the next day. You gotta love the web. I remember frequently paying for rush shipping to get my new license back in time to race the first Spring races. A recent USAC (I still want to call it USCF, don’t you?) email of upcoming races in my area listed a race in Dana Point about a ten-minute ride from our office. I checked out the website for the Dana Point Grand Prix for info and saw an interesting tid-bit buried near the bottom of the race flyer. Sort of like the stealth Landis appearance at the National Bike Summit a few months back. Check out the flyer that I highlighted here.

He has a lot of charisma and a good sense of humor. Floyd spoke of his childhood memories of his first bike and about dodging horse and wagon as he rode everywhere. He said that for him as a youngster, riding his bike was more fun than fishing (with apologies made to Kozo Shimano who was in the audience.) Shimano is a manufacturer of both bicycle components and fishing reels. Floyd received a standing ovation." Too bad about Lance -- I'm home sick with something flu-like too, and the weather outside is absolutely gorgeous. Jonathan's doing an outstanding job reporting on the Bike Summit.
