1058.0. "Where's John Lee Ellis?" by ANKH::CRITZ (A noid is annoyed) Wed Mar 22 1989 12:26

    	Latest Bicycling has an article about people who ride many
    	miles per year. One fella did 50K last year, and most of
    	that, if I remember correctly, was in and around New York
    	city. The second fella is called "Danimal," because he
    	rode across a desert or something by himself (read the
    	article for details). He rode 21K last year. Then, they
    	mentioned a couple who rode a high number of miles.
    
    	So what, you say.
    
    	Well, I'd have liked to seen an article about our own John
    	Lee Ellis. After all, he's done more than the "nut" from
    	NYC. Maybe we ought to boycott the magazine until John Lee
    	gets his name (and body) into an article.
    
    	Whaddaya think?

Send a letter to the editor. Although John's bike wasn't a 50-pound Schiwnn.

	Tom, As I finished this note, I decided to do just that. It should be in the mail by tomorrow or Friday (or Saturday, or Sunday, or...) Scott

1058.4		AMUN::CRITZ	A noid is annoyed	`Thu Mar 23 1989 17:37`	5

1058.5	yes, where'd he go?	KUDZU::ELLIS	John Lee Ellis - assembly required	`Fri Mar 24 1989 23:05`	10
	I'm just back to NC after riding Ed's Ciocc-mit-umlaut. Ed gave me a less-is-more edge by not greasing the chain - NH residents and other wildlife could hear me for miles. But we had a good ride. As I told Scott, I'm honored at the suggestion, and don't mind a bit! (That doesn't mean I feel bad about not having a 50-pound Schwinn. ;-) ) Thanks... -john

1058.8		DELNI::CRITZ	Scott Critz, LKG2/1, Pole V3	`Wed Oct 19 1994 13:51`	16
	Well, the title is appropriate even if the note, per se, is not. John is now working for Performance Factors, Inc., in Golden, CO. He said they do medical biometrics (whatever that is). His commute is currently 62 highway miles (one way) from Loveland to Golden. He and Pat are supposed to close on a house shortly in Louisvill, CO. John said a couple of the folks he works with are fairly serious cyclists. Scott
1058.9		NOVA::FISHER	Tay-unned, rey-usted, rey-ady	`Wed Oct 19 1994 14:02`	9
	I was in grad school with folks doing some of the earliest biometrics stuff on computers. Gideon Ariel was the prof and the lackies (aka, grad students) were in my office. In those days that studied things like cats on treadmills. By 1976 they were studying Olympic athletes. I got mail from Pat this am, so she is now also computerized. ed
