Ricky Rishton: rides the worlds

Ricky: "Enchanted by a rainbow since I was a boy riding down dirt tracks, I've ridden with a romance in my heart. Now, a five-foot-nine-muscled ribbon, eyes clear and bright this mid-morning, mingling in the acrid smell of liniments and sweet tones of athletes glazed in sun lotions, legs bald and brown, seasoned to endure professional distances-muscles and blood tingling-I'm here to start the race I've dreamed of and trained hard for: the World Championship Road Race."
