the photo shows Rogers and an unidentified racer battling at the top of the hill which riders had to ascend each lap. I have this photo dated 1992 but, upon looking at the Subaru-Montgomery roster for that year, Rogers is not listed. This obviously creates a bit of a contradiction. Rogers could have joined the team part way through the season, or left it. Or I could have the date wrong. But, I don't think so; I did race there that year, so I am sticking with the date, and assuming one of the other factors is the case. Thurlow Rogers has had a lengthy and stellar racing career, with a tally of over 300 victories. Some of the more notable of these include: 1981 National Team Time Trial Champion (with Ron Keifel, Kevin Lutz and Tom Prehn), 2005 Master's Road Race World Champion, 2006 Men's 45+ World Time Trial Champion, 2006 Men's 45+ National Time Trial Champion, 2006 Men's 45+ National Road Race Champion, and most recently, 2010 Men's 50-54 National Time Trial Champion. He was also a part of the 1984 Olympic team, which saw Alexi Grewal win the Road Race gold medal.
