I went for a decent 3 hour ride in the mist with 2 very fast guys this morning. The one in the red and black and green is my good buddy Mark McCormack. Mark is a former cyclocross and road professional national champion. He and his brother Frank are legends in New England and nationally. One day I'll do a post just on Mark. It'll be a long one.
The guy in the yellow is Brad Sheehan. Brad is a dangerous cat 2. By dangerous, I mean that if you ride shoulder to shoulder with him for too long, you'll end up in a world of pain. He's also a great designer. His team consistently has the best looking kits of the bunch. Another great guy.
One of the things I've really benefited from by training with Mark is the range of people I've met along the way. There are multi-millionaires, blue collar construction workers, musicians, artists, doctors. The thing about the bike is that it's a real equalizer. It has no idea how much money you make or what you do for a living. It does help you to see what kind of person you are, though. If you're the type to throw in the towel quickly, this crowd is not one should try to hang around with.
