Yeah, Dave, especially him. But clearly he needed shifting in that race. Otherwise, it would have not been his rig. This is Ole Ritter, now.
I gotta remember that cool down method, the studliest I’ve seen yet – rinse off with Gerolsteiner. You don’t see that kind of action with modern brand L cyling. Yeah, I’d call that work. That guy was rugged.

Beautiful film. There’s a certain purity in competitive cycling that’s been lost to innovation, technology, modern nutrition, doping, etc.

I’ll always be a dirt monkey. But that film really makes me appreciate the poetic beauty of finding a groove and melding with the road…
Oh, and Johnny, how ’bout them fuckin’ eagles eh?
