Masters Nationals Road Cycling Championships is going on in Park City, Utah all this week. Monday was the Time Trial.
Rick Rhiengans (Aarons/L5flyers) called me with an update from this big event. His TT time was excellent, he rode his absolute best and agrees that his fitness and skills are far better than this time last year. That made me feel pretty good because I have been coaching him for the past 9 months.
Looking down the TT results list I see many friends including Rick Pfeiffer, Kent Bostick, and more, including the amazing John Sinibaldi. I met Sinibaldi in 1997 and 1998 Championships in Tallahasee, FL
John Sinibaldi was a member of two OLYMPIC TEAMS in 1932 and 1936. He set records for the 100K Time Trial of 2:25:09 which stood for 50 years before it was broken. He is now 91 year old and owns many NATIONAL MASTERS TIME TRIALS CHAMPIONSHIP JERSEYS. John live in St. Petersburg, Florida and attends many of the group rides. Five or six years ago I went to a group ride in Tampa, FL with the Holt's of Ringling Bicycles in Bradenton and found myself riding alongside John Sinibaldi... he remembered me!
