[Rec_bike] The 2003 TdF winner is Will Oren and Doug K.!!!! Congratulations Will and Doug!!

[Will Oren]

Wow, a blast from the past but now everyone will know I was taking 
steroids for my back problems.    It'll get trotted through the courts, 
I'll vehemently deny it until someone digs through the landfill and 
finds the spent bubble packs from my garbage.   Then I'll have to return 
the Golden Sprocket Award that sits proudly on my shelf and bend my head 
in shame whenever the noon crowd comes cycling by.  Such is fame!!

Good memories, wish the body was still as willing.    Thanks for digging 
these out Arne!

Will
