OK, I know this is a little bit of old news but I wanted to get the pre-Christmas stuff up first. Anyway, the local bike shop (BikeBeat) down the street from me had a customer appreciation night recently to which I was invited. It was a nice event held at the shop with open bar and light snacks. However, the highlight of the event was a talk given by none other then Bob Roll. Yes, the Bob Roll of OLN Tour "Day" France fame. The former 7-Eleven professional cyclist who rode with Andy Hampsten when he won the Giro in 88. Thats right, Bob Roll. Well, he got up and talked for about an hour, telling us some incredibly funny stories about his life as a pro cyclist. I especially liked the story about him getting dysentery during the 86 Tour on the night when the entire peloton was sleeping on cots in a school gymnasium. Of course, his cot was the furthest away from the bathroom. What a great night. And to top it off I was able to meet Bob and get this photo. So there you have it. Just wanted to share that moment with everyone. Hope you enjoyed.
