An Evening with John Howard

If you don’t know who John Howard is, among his accomplishments are:

Gold medal in the 1971 Pan Am Games Road Race
Olympic team member
One of the Raleigh boys
Won stage in Tour of Ireland
Helped develop the first carbon fiber bicycle
Second in the RAAM
Won Ironman twice
Set multiple bicycling speed records including world land speed record (152.6mph)
Helped other riders break those records
Lead out man for Bobby Phillips
Helped put cycling in the public and USOC eye

So when Bobby Phillips invited the team and then MABRA to come up to Baltimore for dinner with John Howard, I jumped on the opportunity.

While dinner with John Howard and other cyclists discussing some of his achievements and some of the history of cycling might be interesting, John is probably more interested in talking about cycling here and now including training, drugs in cycling, can Lance win the Tour and his FiTTE System.

We had a great evening at Johnny Dee's -- a Bobby Phillips hangout.

Thanks to John for a fascinating evening, and thanks to Bobby for organizing this.
