[BHV] Race Team

[Bobby Nunnink]

Bill I have found the perfect race for you to train for. New York State 
Time Trails <http://www.bikereg.com/events/register.asp?eventid=3937>
They have a retrogrouch category ( I am not making this up)
 Retrogrouch riders must have 32 spokes per wheel, no aero bars, and one 
item of wool clothing
Good news for you and your anorexia diet.  Guinness is not only low in 
alcohol, guinness has as few calories as light beer!

Diet Strong
