    Colorado State Representative Report ST-2 The CLA/CEMA Library Legislative Day Workshop and Luncheon will take place on Thursday, February 21, 2002 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Denver Public Library, A bill will be introduced in the 2001-2002 session of the Colorado State Legislature to revise the Library Law portion of the Colorado Statutes (24-90-101, etc). A task force reviewed the law, identifying problems, and proposing solutions. Wording for the changes has been drafted and recently revised, based on suggestions and comments by CLA members. For more information, visit the CLA website at: www.cla-web.org/librarylawrevision.htm. The last Colorado Library Association Board Meeting took place on February 5, 2002. The Colorado Association of Libraries (formerly CLA and CEMA) Board has been meeting for several months. They continue the work of merging the two associations with all the accompanying bylaws and procedures changes. The CAL Board will meet monthly for awhile.

  • Women Led the Way
    WomenWomen ledled thethe wayway .. .. .. Rich with tradition, myth, and lore, the history of European road racing stretches back more than a century, allowing only a cursory review here. By contrast, appreciation of U.S. bicycle racing exploits sometimes begins only with the recent past, but American riders actually dominated international racing in the 1890s, and won all cycling events at the 1904 St. Louis Olympics, though the IOC later rescinded those results, based on a bogus claim that professional riders had been allowed to compete. WomenWomen ledled thethe wayway .. .. .. U.S. riders also did reasonably well in six-day races into the 1930s, but from 1912-69, Americans won no medals of any kind in World Championship competition, road or track. The resurgence of American road racing began in the 1960s, and although riders such as Art Lonsjo, Mike Hiltner, John Howard, Mike Neel, George Mount, Jonathan Boyer, Greg LeMond, and Andy Hampsten are rightly hailed as pioneers of this era, the international emergence of U.S. road cycling was actually led by women. Women led the way . The revival unexpectedly got underway with Audrey McElmury’s win at the rain- soaked 1969 World Championship Road Race in Brno, Czechoslovakia (right). The 26-year-old was given little chance in a 44-rider field dominated by the powerful Dutch and Soviet teams. She had come fifth at the ’68 Worlds, but it was considered somewhat of a fluke. McElmury attacked on the climb during lap four of five on the 14 km circuit and got a substantial gap, but she soon crashed on the descent.

Small change for many European nations, but this was the start of a renaissance for US cycling. At the end of the s, cycling was an also-ran sport in the United States; even such winter sports as skiing and speed skating were more popular. Such athletes as Carpenter and Eric Heiden, both of whom had competed at the Winter Olympics as speed skaters, were now looking to cycling for a fresh challenge. As a skier, Greg too had found his way into cycling via a winter sport, as had his friend and arch-rival Jeff Bradley, another former speed skater. Having made the summer switch Greg Lemond: Yellow Jersey Racer two wheels, neither Jeff nor Greg ever looked back. InJeff finished fourth in the Junior World Championships in Argentina, beating a soon-to-be classics ace, the Belgian Eric Vanderaerden, in the bunch sprint; Greg had already won the race from a three-man breakaway. Also in Argentina, Jeff and Greg won another bronze medal in the team time trial—to match the one they had netted the year before—but this time with Andy Hampsten Greg Lemond: Yellow Jersey Racer Mark Fris. A renowned sprinter, Jeff chalked up around wins in his career, racing all over the United States and Europe, and reaching a high with a ride in the Tour de France with the 7-Eleven team, his first and last attempt at the Tour.

  • Quotable Lemond
    The QUOTABLE Mr. LeMond Throughout his career, Greg LeMond has shown a remarkable ability to capture a moment with a simple phrase. To follow are several of his most memorable quotes, each with an accompanying images. Some require narration, others need none at all. –Charles Howe “When I look back on this period, it seems like NOTHING WAS IMPOSSIBLE. I just kept riding and winning and riding and winning.” Gregory James LeMond of Reno, Nevada burst upon the emerging U.S. cycling scene in the late 1970s. He originally took up cycling simply as a means of getting around town, and bought his first “10-speed” bike for this purpose at the end of the summer of 1974, with money earned from mowing lawns. Skiing was LeMond’s first sporting love, and in an ironic twist, the 1975 Nevada State Road Race Championship passed by his home just a few days before he was due to leave for a freestyle ski camp. Intrigued by the race and encouraged at the camp to ride as a means of staying fit for skiing, LeMond decided – somewhat half-heartedly, at first – to start cycling more regularly. The seminal moment came later that summer when LeMond and his father, Bob (at left in middle photo, above), followed a selection race for the Pan-American Games at Squaw Valley in their van. It was a classic road race, with long mountain grades and breathtaking descents spread out over an 80 mile course. After that, he would recount, “we were sold.” LeMond’s skiing was curtailed by a drought in the winter of 1975-76, and his interest in cycling began to grow.
