      He has done well in 50's. a 100% completion ratio in the 7 rides he
has done.  In the 100's he is running at a 50% completion ratio, 3 finishes
out of 6 starts.  One lameness, one metabolic and one overtime.  He doesn't
appear to have done a ride since last March. Maybe giving him some time off
after accumulating 725 lifetime miles in the last 3.5 years.  Too bad
Valerie didn't choose him for the WEC.

(love that new AERC page, thanks Mike)
