Me and my boy, Ned

Here I am on March 3, with one of my early cycling heroes, Ned Overend. Back when I got started in cycling he was a regular in Velonews, tearing up all the Grundig races around the world and becoming the first UCI MTB World Champ. Because of him I bought some sweet, Specialized mtb shoes. They were black with red accents and were awesome. Unfortunately the Texas limestone and my lack of balance on the bike tore them up pretty quickly.
At 50+ he is still competitive with guys less than half his age. I hope I am like that when I grow up. Ned rocks it no matter what the age.
