I symbolized doping... My phone rarely rings. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of riders who call me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If people had told me that I would have the stamina to conduct 'Ring Cycles,' I would have been amazed. I still am.
Whatever I won in cycling, I won with my own skills. I never won anything I couldn't win. For example, I never won a time trial at 60 kph, whereas others have and maybe still do.
No matter how long I go without riding winners, I know in the back of my head that I can ride.
The thing that turned out to be interesting about CB radios was the ability to call out in the world with anonymity. You choose your handle. Race and class become non-signifiers.
Apparently I'm not a pro cyclist.
I collect rings from every country that I compete in, and I swap them around and wear different ones occasionally. I have about 10.
There are so many people who have died of cycling, and that didn't happen when I was racing.
When I see pot-bellied cyclists wearing the 'maillot jaune,' it appals me.
Riding a race bike is an art - a thing that you do because you feel something inside.
It is a temptation for me to wear all my rings at once.
