My dad had accumulated a bunch of photos on his camera’s flash card going back to this year’s Tour de France. So I downloaded them for him and will burn them to a DVD. Also on the card was a photo of a photo of him back in his racing days.
The prologue in London. Random Cofidis rider.
The crowds were thick in London. I read that England is bidding to host a stage for the 2012 Tour.
My Dad loves this photo. I think he secretly wants to be the Devil.
My dad is the second from the right. Check out the bikes: Brooks leather saddles, handlebar mounted water bottle cages, wool shorts, huge rake on the forks.
…TA crankset w/ mafac racer centerpulls, maybe weinman sidepulls on the other bike…’exposed bolt’ stems, cloth tape & an aluminum zefal w/ the 4in. hose that screwed into the bottom of the pump & then onto the valve-stem…
…matching ‘singlets’…cool !…
…what was the club & where ?…
It was the Tudor CRC team in England. The guy on the far left was the team manager.
man you look just like your dad!
