There I found and rode a old 30 lb Schwinn Varsity I found in a garage that a friend had left when he moved. In the Late seventies, I knew guys who were building "Geared" old ballon tire bikes for off road. At that time I thought it was a great Idea, but didn't get into it for myself till they came out with Production Mtn Bikes. I started Riding Mtn Bikes in 1987, Really got into Road at the tailend of 2001 when I was about to turn fifty and now do that about 98% of the time. I've never raced on my Road Bike, have done some Mtn Bike races since 1999 and have done a couple of 24 Hour Team Races. I'm usually the oldest, but not always the slowest on the Team. I try to do 3 or 4 Centurys a year. I'm a Graphic Designer/Cartoonist by Trade.....
