Thank you, Philippe. The Mass Bay Road Club was an early adopter, as you 
might say, of cyclocross. We put on a race series here every 
winter/fall, hosted the US national championships once, mostly through 
the efforts of one founding member who competed frequently in Europe. 
Another founding member was a junior national champion of Belgium before 
he emigrated. We had good blood. And you might suspect I am not the 
author of the picture of myself.
