New Feature Article on Team Donate Life Grace Valley on RAAM
Team Donate Life - Grace Valley by Perry Stone at www.raceacrossamerica.org
This GOOD article mentions Dwight’s 40-year old Cinelli bike. Kate gives the background:
Dwight got it in 1971 from a potter in the hills of San Juan Bautista, CA, who used to be a cyclist/racer and owned the Cinelli and envied Dwight’s Schwinn Varsity and its ability to be a “mountain bike”. So they traded and Dwight became the proud owner of a 1961 handmade Italian bike - a Cinelli.

Some things get better with age! I can’t wait until next year.
Kate, Thanks for sharing both Dwight and his beloved Cinelli.

Dwight, your Mom and Dad send their delight in your having your son Justin with you on Father’s Day sharing in your passion for intense cycling. What a gift! What a surprise to hear about the “Family Gooey” bike. It really takes us back. God bless you and your team, we can hardly believe that you’ve all come so far, so fast. We’re with you all the way!
