What ???...Joe must be getting soft on us. He should at least be riding the full 56 mile bike course the day before? (or perhaps he is whipping off a quick 56 before the seminar...)

Joe Bonness sleeps with a night light. Not because Joe Bonness is afraid of the dark, but the dark is afraid of Joe Bonness

Kevin will be out in front of Joe during the bike looking for GTG officials with the mirror on his helmet. Z

Paul, Joe says he will be doing 56 mile ride on race day, but they will have to go at his pace.

By the way, can you help me find the 2005 results? They don't seem to be showing up.

Thanks

I was looking for this the other day and had problems finding it as the original location is no longer working.

I finally found a copy at the following link.

Why aren't helemet mirrors illegal? I don't buy the safety argument. I really doubt some errant driver is going to veer on to an IM course and kill someone from behind. Besides a rider has ears don't they?

I think Hawaii's outcome would have been different w/o mirrors.

Memo to Graham Fraser: No mirrors. It's cheating.
