JerrySTL ★ Posted August 2, 2023 Share #3 Posted August 2, 2023 I used to have one of those early Bell helmets back in the '70s. They were heavy, little ventilation, and had a difficult chin strap. But they worked for me. I crashed hard within 2 months of buying one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razors Edge ★ Posted August 4, 2023 Author Share #4 Posted August 4, 2023 Watched episode 1 (of 4) last night on my PBS Passport app. So far, it is GREAT. Really can't say much more than it was really neat. And a great soundtrack. Check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just from episode 1: I really like at least half of those songs. Looks like I'll have to stream the documentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razors Edge ★ Posted August 10, 2023 Author Share #11 Posted August 10, 2023 Another episode (#2) last night. Still great stuff with fun music. 30 teenage kids in 1982 and the chaos is starting to creep in. What remains amazing is that each raised - back in 1982(!) - over $5,000 for the fight against MS. That's an amazing number. I think the most I have raised for a charity ride is a few grand - and that was with me kicking in a bunch. I also heard something interesting - and maybe misinterpreted it - but a guy said he turned 18 while in CO on the ride so could buy beer, but he was restricted to 3.2 ABV or something like that. It showed them drinking Coors, but not sure if 1) the lower alcohol content was enforced (he wasn't carded) and 2) if Coors made lower alcohol versions for the CO market?

Razors Edge ★ Posted August 14, 2023 Author Share #12 Posted August 14, 2023 We finished the series and WOW - it was great. What a fantastic story. Well, actually STORIES as each rider had a story and so did the organizer and staff. It really makes you appreciate what they did. And, if you're a cyclist, it really is a must see. Way too many relatable moments but also beauty, tragedy, and a good bit of envy. Fire it up on your PBS app. You won't regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved to Colorado when I was 20 , I had to drink 3.2 beer till I turned 21 Back then 3.2 was what they sold in the grocery store, for full strength you had to go to a liquor store That was in the 70’s, don’t know if it is still that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
