I used to ride with George Mount back in high school, before either of us had ridden tubulars. I had an old (even then) straight gauge Emilio Bozzi Legnano with a brass Campagnolo derailleur, ca 1968. Beautiful workmanship.

T'was so very long ago when women never rode. Ah well.

You live in one of the great cycling environments in the country, so many good roads and good people. I rode there for lots of years.

Won the worlds in 1969.

Saw George Mount in Montreal in 1976. Chatted with him at the finish line after the race.
