On this day in 1997


This one dates back to 1997, The Long Gone Michigan Cyclist magazine was a sometimes a monthly or BI Monthly publication, focusing on all aspects of Michigan Cycling, Road, Touring MTB, even BMX. They always had great bike shop tours, Race reports and accurate results. IF anyone out there has other issues of this magazine Tms would be interested in purchasing them!
Now the quiz ..Name the riders who graced the cover of the first issue covering The Tailwinds inaugural cross series.
and name the cross rigs there on.

Wasn't Steve Wooldridge a FedEX driver?
He used to stop into Kinetics years ago.
Anyone know where he is?

caption on page 3 reads.
Race #2 of the Tailwind Cyclo-cross Series - Steve Wooldridge travels up the "Big Run - up followed by Mike Zeawiony... incorrect spelling Zbawiony.
Bikes. Steve is on a Pinnarelo and Mike is on an Ibis.

So who won that race? answer correct for a feature in the next michigan scene?

So what do I win? a feature in your next update?

So I have issues dating back to the Fall of 1993. I started racing dirt in 1992 and not sure what year Ron Hort started the free magazine? So who was on the cover Fall 1993?
contact me at johnjmeyers@sbcglobal.net.
thanks,
J.

I was the first sales guy for this magazine back in 1990 and help put it on the map. I have the first issue and I think a few others. I am not sure what Tms is or how to make contact about selling them. If someone wants to call about getting them to TMS, call 520-906-2890.
