I doubt it. He won the first RAAM (I think it was called something else then) back in the ‘80s. He’s probably 60 years old now.

A great rider!

I was working in a great bike shop in college back then. Followed RAAM like crazy.

Geez, I hadn’t thought about this since the 80’s when I ran a shop.

Prior to the internet, we’d call the French Embassy and get the latest TDF results and post them in the window.

He could probably still pull it off. There's a 60 year old "Rookie" competing this year. He's already ridden 2000 miles and is on pace to just make it under the 12 day limit.
