In 1980, while attending WWU, I raced the downhill ski stage and I had no idea what I was in for. Just did a favor for college buds who knew I liked to ski and was on high school track and xcountry running teams. I collapsed after handing off the baton. Racing uphill in ski boots was one of the most grueling experiences I ever had. Our cyclist was a ringer and passed 31 to put us in 17th. We finished in the middle of pack as the bay had no wind that day. A great memory for me!

We raced for the goodness good guys and loved it for 20+ years what a wonderful team. We have 5 plaques for the Whatcom county open division.
