Race Across America June 19, 2001, Teams Start
Yours truly with my idol, mentor, and friend John Marino, the Godfather of Ultra Marathon Cycling, founder of the UMCA, RAAM, and the 508 and also the man who took me under his wing as a cyclist, writer, and event promoter in 1983 when I was just 16 years old. Thanks for everything, John!
