Training with a legend

I show up for a morning breakfast ride, which gets cancled because of rain.  All the riders decide to go ahead and drive to the resteraunt and have breakfast anyway.  I live across the street from the ride start, so I was just about to head home and call it a day, but when I got home I decided I might as well change and go eat.  Heck, I had nothing else to do.

Turns out one of the guys, who is a regular rider in the area, is THE Dave Blase.  Apparently he rides the roads near my apartment on a regular basis.  Unfortunately he was in a wreck last week and didn't show up today, but should be coming back soon.

Also turns out that another guy who came was George Rian, a USCF coach, local legend, and expert bike fitter (also rode with Blase).  He's the kind of guy with enough experience to be able perfect your fit by riding with you and watching how you ride.  We were talking and he basically offered to help tweak my fit on the next few rides.
