Friend Jeff came south to Santa Barbara for a visit so Tom, he, and I got together for a morning bike ride to Carpinteria, just like we used to do most Saturdays “back in the day”, i.e. when “the man” lived among us.
The left shot is in front of Starbucks in Carpinteria where we stopped for three StarMuffins and a nice long visit. The right shot is within the great bike store along the 1200 block of State that has loads of bikes, frames, and parts, from “back in the day”. Ashe is pointing to a poster of “Il Campionissimo” (champion of champions), Fausto Coppi, with a beautiful 1974 Coppi bike just in front of the poster.
