And Brian, yeah, I did the Tour of Texas several times, that was usually some good racing.Richard McClunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09079110094990374460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615514468046716028.post-8331354540489934572012-01-19T18:41:24.805-08:002012-01-19T18:41:24.805-08:00I did HHH ONE time, in I think 1998 or 1999. Whil...I did HHH ONE time, in I think 1998 or 1999. While the TT and crit were tolerable (although the crit course was akin to a construction zone) the road race just killed me -- primarily the heat, but also the wind can be murder. And that was despite me being in the heart of three year of training and racing year-round in Texas while attending A&M. Just a brutal race. Did you ever do the Tour of Texas in its heyday, when it was a full-on pro event? The very first road event I ever watched was one of the ToTx stages the last year it was held (after it had been demoted to amateur-only status and was actually a compilation of races held on subsequent weekends, not on consecutive days) and I was forever hooked. Ended-up racing on many of the courses in the following years, but unfortunately all as one-day events, and never as a stage race.Brian W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07074214241982023443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615514468046716028.post-18927866027957376872012-01-19T05:30:51.419-08:002012-01-19T05:30:51.419-08:00some days I'm sorry we broke up the Harvard Bi...some days I'm sorry we broke up the Harvard Bike House.

I remember at Junior crit nats him getting second in the sprint in the rain on a flat tire! Afterwards he was awarded the win because the person who'd won had too big of gear.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580292502012336135noreply@blogger.com
