A different Jason


the world mourns the loss of another fellow cyclist, Jason McIntyre. He was struck down on a training ride in his native Scotland this week.

McIntyre prowess in the chrono ranged from the 2006 British TT championships to the Scottish 10 25 and 50 mile time trial record. What made him more special was that he was an amateur cyclist, like you and me. He had two girls, his job, and his wife, and a will to compete against the clock and compete against himself.

I have followed Mcintyre and his chrono prowess for the last year and a half. He nearly dethroned David Millar in the BTTC In a classic dave/goliath story. A great inspiration for the little guy competing against insurmountable odds.
