Marty...

2007-10-19T04:13:00.000-07:00

She's been riding for 29 years, and have been averaging 5000-6000 miles a year. Although, she started riding late in her life, she has accumulate about 170,000 miles. She doesn't do laps in the park, but goes up State. She normally rides alone and the best thing about it, is she finds money on the road, a quarter here and there, and has been averaging $28 a year, she's 19 cent shy of that $28 this year. And she donates that money to Charity every year. Marty, I am honored to meet you.

Not sure if Marco is part of NYVELOCITY, but Andy is one of the Photographer for www.NYveloCity.com. Great site for all you cycling fanatics. He's a Photographer in "real" life as well. I met Andy about 8 years ago when I used to ride my Gios and he was on his Bianchi, good "old" days. He's definitely one of the "regular's" that rides between 10-3pm. I'm sure most of you has seen him Whizzing pass you.
