I am trying to figure out the email contact information for someone I
met at yesterday's Guangzhou Shimano Bikers' Festival which unfortunately starts with actually trying to figure out his full name. I wandered off with the intent of coming back with a notebook and pen only to discover that the crash one of my friends had suffered that morning had resulted in a broken wrist and in keeping my friend company I never wandered back. I'm fairly sure his name is Stephen something starting with an R. Not quite 100% sure given my lousy ability with people's names but fairly sure. He and his Chinese wife are currently living in Hong Kong/Shenzhen area. They've been there for perhaps two or three months. One of the projects he is involved with is putting together an amateur race series in the Shenzhen area with closed-to-traffic courses every weekend. I had asked him if he had done anything with the Hainan people considering how pro bike race the local government currently is and, not knowing anyone in Hainan, he had not. This is why I was supposed to give him my contact information. I specifically wanted his contact information because his very pretty lugged steel frame was custom built by a frame builder in Shenzhen and he said at the time that although he didn't have the man's contact info on hand he would be able to get it to give to me. I think he's named Stephen something starting with an R is a retired professional racer who was on the Motorola team. He participated three times in the Tour de France and once in the Vuelta de Espagna. The talk on site (which was not actually confirmed by talking with the man or any of the people he was there with) was that he took a stage win in the Vuelta. No idea which years this was. Very certain that he was with Motorola. He came to the race with about thirty or forty other people all of whom were wearing matching Cycling.TV jerseys. With the exception of sixty pink and white polka dots for Ecurie Tianya (my club) their's were the largest concentration of matching jerseys. This year's bikers' festival had over 600 people but mostly they came in smaller groups of five or ten or even twenty and even if they did come in larger groups they tended not to be in large matching groups. I've already had a wander round cycling.tv's website and have already sent an email that may or may not get me anywhere with them. I'm also following a few other leads that I know though, for the most part, the people I saw at bikers' festival who I already knew but did not actually travel there with are Guangzhou based rather than Hong Kong based and not in my phone (cause it isn't like I'd be in their city and have the time to see them at anything other than a bike related event where I'd already be seeing them). Can anyone help? Even a pointer to someone who knows someone would be useful. Like I said I've got a bunch of leads to follow up on and with less than two dozen laowai at the event it shouldn't be too hard to eventually track him down. -M |

Like I said I've got a bunch of leads to follow up on and with less than two dozen laowai at the event it shouldn't be too hard to eventually track him down. This is probably more heat than light, but there's a few Steves who rode for Motorola (previously Team 7-11) in that era. There's a Steven Alschuler who did well in at least one Pro/1/2 race in California, riding for Motorola in that era. I can't find anything else about him. He's probably not it. Steve Bauer, a good Canadian boy, did very well in that era for Moto, but is not the most likely candidate: the biographical details don't line up well. A Kiwi? Steven Swart?

Does that ring a bell? I have contact info for him if that's who you're talking about. |

Does that ring a bell? I have contact info for him if that's who you're talking about. I cite my previously mentioned inability to correctly remember names unless they have been written down, repeated many times, or are very weird. It is entirely possible that Stephen last name starting with an R is a different one of the foreigners I met on Sunday. This is why I gave as much of the biographic detail that I did. I do a lot better with remembering informational tags than I do names and it's also easier to match that sort of thing up. So, yes, it could be. And if it isn't but he is a retired bike racer currently living in the Shenzhen/Hong Kong area he might know who the specific person I'm thinking of is. -M |

I have contact info for him if that's who you're talking about. Yes, it is who I am talking about. I was looking through the booklet given to participants (fun Chinese practice) and noticed that it had a list of all the racers who had pre- registered and which races they were in. Nathan Dahlberg Roger is listed as being in the Men's Advanced Category. I'm assuming the "Roger" is either part of someone else's name or a middle name that has gone wandering. Last name starting with an "R" came from hearing the announcer say that a Mr. R-something-badly-mumbled had taken second place. (Last year it took three tries on my name before one of my clubmates asked me if that was me.) As for the Stephen part of it well I cite, in part, my lack of ability with names, the possibility that I may have met someone else named Stephen that day, and the fact that the final phoneme in both Stephen and Nathan is the same. -M |
