I presume you're referring to Alan Kingsbury?it had to be later than that- at least 75. more like 76
or 77, maybe even 78- I'd just started racing in 77, and was reading about it in Velo-news.
Myself, I rode the VA state TT blind( :-0 - not with blind-fold, just didnt have time to recon,
turned a corner, and clipped my pedal. went flying through the air- still remember the look of
amazement, or was it horror? on the road marshal's face. I got up, and caught my minute man. only
did 1;05;19, but wasnt too displeased considering. I did strain my Iliopsoas though, took about
several weeks to heal.(never mind the strawberries....)
