Trucker Maura, 1986

Maura inside the cab of a truck. The date stamp is September 1986, a few months after we started dating in May of that year.  I borrowed this photo from her sister Jennifer, who told me it's somewhere near Fresno.

Maura and Jennifer, 1986

This photo was taken at the Andersen's Pea Soup restaurant in Beulton, just outside of Solvang.  From the look of it, the sisters were riding their bikes.  From the helmets and cycling gloves they were wearing, most cycling types can probably date this to the mid 80s, when those Bell helmets were popular.  This is obviously before Maura got serious into bike racing.  Photo is stamped Feb 1986 in the back, a couple months after I first met her.

Sprint Triathlon, 1986

Pink handlebar tape, of course.  Riding the bike leg of the sprint triathlon at Santa Fe Dam in August 1986.

Cycling Photo, 1986

This was a Polaroid from a shoot for a cycling magazine taken in August 1986.  That is not her bike, nor her clothes nor her helmet.  However, I believe those were her cycling shoes and she had very long, narrow feet so she definitely needed to always wear her own.  I still have several slides and a couple Polaroids from that shoot.  I never found out who the photographer was.
