From the way back files… in 1981 I was asked to pilot the Phoenix that was designed and built by Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Jim “Jimbob” Adamski and I had a blast and came away with some pretty big upsets besting some pretty famous cyclists at the time. Jimbob and I were both raced Cat 1/2 Pro but we were up against National and Olympic team members and a few pro cyclists so it was a huge day for us. More importantly this is the event that Roxy and I started going together full time and have been together ever since. Roxy drove us back to NorCal in “Shultz” our three color VW Scirocco with no a/c windows down blaring “Running with the Devil” by Van Halen on the Blaupunkt Cassette tape deck. As a bonus ASME awarded us special recognition for design excellence for our work on the project.
