thirty-one; Jim Black Cannondale Road bike


He rides up next to me with a thoughtful prudence that’s often mistaken for unnecessary caution; he’s smart not scared.
Smart is continuing to work in Journalism after establishing twenty years of solid contacts, but still studying up on software programming (“Newspapers are dead”).
Smart is stopping racing before it stopped him (he used to be Cat-1).
Berkeley Alumni, he loads my head with so many contacts and internships I have to turn off my ipod.
“I used to live to ride, now I ride to eat,” he yells “I don’t descend fast anymore, I have AYSO games to attend.”
