I run slow, Maxi. 9-10 minute miles...and easy jog to keep my legs
strong and my heart working properly. I genereally build to a full run
in the last 1/4 and sprint the last. I also train with light weights,
high reps. I'm off today, but tomorrow I'll do another short run.

My running mates and I would leave you pretty far behind. Training for
a half-marathon (two years ago) we averaged 6.5 to 7 minute miles--not
too shabby for a bunch of old farts. Now we just run for conditioning,
but we still average sub-8 miles. I've been gradually switching to
bicycling over the past year or so, thanks to aging knees. Less
impact. I also rollerblade--I won three criteriums (criteria?) last
year in my age group--over 45.

Max

You won 3 crits. Are you racing USCF? Usually the guys that still race
over 45 are very good, pretty much untouchable by guys just entering the
sport (cycling). Or are those rollerblade crits?

Rollerblade crits. However I used to be a USCF Cat 2 in my days in
Colorado. I never had the time or the money then to devote to the sport.

Ever ride the Morgul-Bismark?

Rollerblade crits = Roller Derby

Essentially, yes. Knee and elbow pads + helmets are required.

I raced the Morgul Bismark the last year it was run. I rode USCF Cat 4.

Ever do the Bob Cook or the Iron Horse?

Nope. I rode the MB for two years prior to it being included in the
now-defunct Coors Tour. If you were a cat 4 you probably didn't spend much
time in that part of the peleton where I usually was.

Neither my running mates nor I have the
time, the desire, nor the dedication to train for marathons.

I understand that one. I toyed with the idea briefly this year. But
I only wanted to run one if I could qualify for Boston. There is
actually a qualifying marathon in my little town. fairly flat course,
but even though the start is at 5:00 AM it would be very hot last
half. Race is in September.

I would need 4hrs plus 59sec and could qualify for Boston '07 as a
sixty year old. That's about a 9:12 pace. I run much faster than
that at the 5 & 10K distance but 26.2 miles is something else indeed.
The amount of time I would have to put in to train up to it is just
way more than I'm willing to do.

IMO, it's a younger person's game. However we've seen some pretty old
runners in the Chicago. I've always held those guys and gals in high
esteem, mostly for the dedication and discipline they must have to train for
marathons, not to mention the pain they suffer.

I suffered full leg cramps following my first half-marathon. My trainer
decided I was dehydrated and gave me a forced hydration regimen to follow.
Didn't help much, so I simply trained a lot harder for the third race. Much
better, and I really wonder just how much I'd had to have to trained to be
able to do a marathon without doing a repeat of the cramps. But that's not
gonna happen--I'm happy just running for conditioning and the occasional 10K
now.

I spent a fair amount of time in that part of the peleton, each time when
they lapped me. If you look at the winning times of Cat 2,3,4 (there was a
Cat 5 when I was racing)you will see there isn't much difference. It's the
spread of the pack that is different with each category. I once even won a
circuit race because when I was going to get lapped a second time, I took
off and finished just ahead of the pack. I did it as a joke, apparently it
fooled the officials. I didn't go to the podium to claim the inner tube I
had won.
Did you race with the Grewal brothers?

Ever run ultramarathons?

They made a 449 a 222 and a 645 also a 440 flat track thumper dodewad.
I also had an Indian 50, a Harley fatboy, a BMW, a Honda, Yahama, WWC
Chopper...... all before the age of 16 so dont **** with me fatboy.
Took pics of them with my Hasselblad 240rXL using a Drexler super
stable platform thru a B&L cross axial 10X32" 5rl Complex lens
assembly. I now keep the pictures in a solid gold box, and gold is at a
record price. Its in the 1861 chippendale highboy great grandpa gave

The name is familiar, but no. I did, however, have the opportunity to ride
alongside Eddie Merckx for one lap of the MB (he was the honorary race
chairman) before he dropped out to watch the rest of the race from the
comfort of his easy chair.

Ever run ultramarathons?

Lord no. Halves were as ambitious as I ever got. I did do some canoe
triathlons one summer, however. Not a great swimmer.

On the Victor 440 , the fork springs were wound differently than on the

I owned one, and it was no motorcrosser at all. It was a street bike with a
higher-than-average pipe, heavy, and lots of torque from the thumper. And
before you start whining about carbs again, mine also had a Delorto, which I
installed with a custom manifold.

And oh yeah--my metric tools worked fine on it.

How old is Miguel now? He must be well up in his thirties. He is one tall

He's an annoying know-it-all. I helped a friend recently with a cobbled
Triumph chopper--replaced the clutch and some other minor parts. Neither of
us own Whitworth tools, but got the job done just fine.
