6. What has been your best event(s)?

Long ago, individual pursuits and team time trails were my favorite and best
(on the track and road). Now my favorite event is the Wilderness 101 in PA.
I remember telling a college friend back in college that he was crazy for
trying to ride something that long (note: he did it in road shoes and
pedals on a mt. bike), but here I am doing it myself now. I guess I am
eating my words.

7. What has been your worst event(s)?

Junior Pan Am Games in 1993. We were all so ready to get out of there after
a very miserable week in Cuba that we actually believed the gate attendant
who said there were not enough seats for everyone, and we all sprinted
across the tarmac to the plane to make sure we got a seat. None of us
wanted to be left behind.
