[rchippie]

The only Trek's made in the USA are. the Trek OCLV carbon fiber models. All other Treks are made in either Taiwan or china. With the better ones being made in Taiwan. The lower end Cf bikes are made in Taiwan. Gaint is the largest Bicycle manufacturer in the world. They make bikes for a lot of the major company's.

I just got another Bike. You Bike aficionados will recognize it. I grew up watching this guy. He is the one that go me into cycling. This is a Classic Italian designed Bike made with Columbus Tubing. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI...vip=true&rt=nc

Oh, I forgot to mention- big thanks to Dad who entered the race for the second time (only because I entered). It'll be the last for him since it really tolled his 64 year old body.

The race pictures should be uploaded in the next few weeks, Travis Dean is the photographers name I think.

Awesome for you and your dad pinkpanda! He must be a hell of a man. It always amazes me what my dad still does, there is no stopping him.

Congrats on competing and finishing.

Thanks Harold. Some oldies just do as they please don't they. They don't have to do it the hard way... they do it because they can. I get the impression your Dad is a bit of an inspiration for you too?
