Sorry I can't find any cycling pictures but I do have a little history for everyone.
A long time ago in the San Diego area to start off our racing season we had a two day race, first the Willows Road Race (where Viejas casino is now) and on Sunday the UCSD criterium which I came in 4th, my best finish of 4 tries, In 1979 (I think) the Senior 1/2/PRO group took off and after 10 laps or so Greg Lemond took a flyer. NO one decided to chase so he lapped the field and then sat at the back of the pack! At the finish a rider from Colorado thought he had won......but he was second! He was really po'd.

In the week before the 1984 Olympics, Mark Gorski, about Americas best track sprinter was taking a training ride through LaJolla and ran through a stop sign. Officer who hated cyclists stopped him and gave him a ticket which the judge later threw out!

For several years there was a great criterium in down town LaJolla and it was the Seenior 1/2/PRO men and women. As I was president of the LaJolla Cycling Club I was one of the original people that thought of it along with Richard and Mike. I also road in the pace car (427 Cobra replica) and shot videos of the pace laps. There is a video I took on You Tube if you look for the "LaJolla Grand Prix Bicycle Race"!
