2023 Race Schedule

2023 SEASON FOCUS
I have a single focus for my 14th consecutive time trial race season, my second with my state-of-the-art recumbent race trike: two national age-group time trial trike championships. (Three inaugural age-group trike world records for 100 kilometer (62.1 miles), 100 miles, and six (6) hours have been postponed to 2024.) This is my race schedule (updated 9/6/2023).

1. National Senior Games (5 km), Pittsburgh, PA, Thursday, July 13 (withdrawn due to injury)
2. National Senior Games (10 km), Pittsburgh, PA, Friday, July 14 (withdrawn due to injury)
3. Inaugural Age-Group Trike World Record (100 km), Ed Rudolph Velodrome, Northbrook, IL (postponed to 2024)
4. Inaugural Age-Group Trike World Record (100 mi), Ed Rudolph Velodrome, Northbrook, IL (postponed to 2024)
5. Inaugural Age-Group Trike World Record (6 hr), Ed Rudolph Velodrome, Northbrook, IL (postponed to 2024)

SEASON RECAP: Roughly a month before National Senior Games (NSG), I suffered a freak accident that severely damaged a ligament in my right hand. The subsequent swelling also affected my right knee and foot. All three became extremely swollen. I was unable to put my foot into my cycling shoe. So, I had to suspend any training for two months. I withdrew from NSG. Turns out that I would have been a double national champion because I was the only entry in my age-group and bike category. I resumed training on August 8th and completed the season with 4,228.79 miles. My lifetime mileage total now stands at 145,861.34 miles. Only 4,138.66 miles to go to 150,000 miles.
