Awards

[Marinera@aol.com]

I have a story to tell.  Many years ago, before the days when Rio and other 
such giants roamed the earth, I came home from a California ride with three 
trophies.  Now that is real bragging material.  I still have them on a shelf 
because they help keep things in perspective.  You are probably 
thinking--gosh, she was first place, BC and something else.  You have it all 
wrong.  The trophies I collected that day were:

1. turtle award for last place
2. hard luck award because that was the way the day went
3. oldest rider award

So be careful when you hope for an award.  You may just get it.
