Rider Comments:
I got the opportunity to ride about 45 miles with Papalo11 on 5/21/06 while we were verifying the cue sheet for one of the Reunion 2006 rides. Jim is a very friendly fellow and a lot of fun to talk with. I now see where his son (deplex) got his strong legs -- from strong genes. Papalo11 can hold his own on the hills and keep up on the flats.
If you get a chance to ride with Jim be sure to ask him how his fastest downhill speed compares with his son's sprint-to-the-finish-line speed.

To the man that gave me my competitive fire (I am wearing his genes, after all). Seeing you attacking those hills at 69 years young does my heart good. I love you, Dad.

History:

click to enlarge
Riding only 6 years. First road bike in July '04.
Took my Son's (dplex) hand me down Trek 5200, and discovered riding does not bother my bad back and trick knee. Enjoy riding so much, joined the Blachhawk Bicycle Club. Can't get in enough riding with this "GREAT" group. Just recently got my custom built 2006 Waterford R33. Hope to knock off 25 lbs, and get this old mans body in much better shape.
