Ken (me!) has been reading and contributing to RBR since 1996. I used to be a distance runner and transitioned to bike racing only in 1995. I did my first bike racing though in 1978 at Indiana University and the Little 500 race - when it was on the black cinder track at the old 10th Street Stadium (where BREAKING AWAY was filmed, that very same Spring of 1978).

This shot is of me in a deep tuck, while descending the back side of Pinnacle Hill at the 1996 Harvard Road Race... while contesting the Lanterne Rouge in the 'old, slow and in the way' category.
