Jeff Tilden - SIR Legend, RCC - S2S Record Holder
and All Around First Class Guy Endorses Eric Vigoren for RUSA Board
(byline penned by campaign manager Peter Beeson)
Hi Fellow Riders:
I am delighted to endorse Eric Vigoren as a candidate for the RUSA Board.
None of this will come as a surprise to the SIRs, but here are some things
you should know: (a) Eric has never had a bad day. He is always smiling.
In fact I think his mouth is just naturally turned in the shape of a grin.
In all events, no matter what the time, or conditions, or the mileage, he is
happy, infectiously happy. Some of us ride in spite of the pain, or because
of it. Eric rides like silk; (b) Eric has never met anyone he did not like.
Some might view this as poor taste, but Eric does not think so and many of
the rest of us have benefited from this open-mindedness; (c) Eric always has
time for slower riders, newer riders, and riders in trouble; (d) Eric has,
with no fanfare, quietly performed much of the back office work for SIR that
keeps the club humming. Work that no one wants to do, but someone has to
do. He has hosted or co-hosted many of our brevets, invented a new
populaire route last spring that was spectacular, and currently serves as
our treasurer; (e) It is really a two-for-one deal, because his wife, Maggie
Williams comes as part of the package. Maggie writes our club's newsletter,
a witty, self-deprecating, and not entirely fictitious description of club
events.
Finally, and maybe most importantly, Eric loves riding his bicycle. In
2007, he rode 12,000 km, essentially one 200K a weekend. Fortunately, I
missed most of this with him, but you can see him now, swooping up some hill
in the rain, dancing on the pedals in flight. He'd be great.

Many thanks for your consideration of Eric Vigoren (SIR's Treasurer,
Volunteer Extraordinaire) and of Edward Robinson (a great rider from Texas,
heading up the national permanents program and would make a terrific
addition to the RUSA board as a representative from the Southwest).
Cheers
