I've only followed cycling since 2003 so my memories are mostly from the last six years. Wish I would have been @ the worlds in my hometown Oslo in -93 when Armstrong won. I also find it strange that people are upset that there are mostly fairly new memories that are posted. Well, I know my cycling history very well, but my BEST memories can only come from races that I've personally seen and enjoyed! So that rules out the old champions. This thread is about my favorite things in cycling and I'm going to pick from those I've seen race.
