has been cycling for three yearn but this Is the first season bike Mueller built the bike himself using parts from France and Japan This week story Is straight from a Hollywood movie Really The film Breaking Away keeps popping into mind You know the story of an can youth who dreams of becoming an It racer I haven t seen the movie in it entirety You can bet Ray Mueller has Here a a Acton High School student with a slightly different sport on his mind cycling And although he speak with an Italian accent to im press girls or hum Italian songs at least Mueller Is Just as good as the fellow to the movie Better even He already won a race in Hamilton this year Mueller s Interest in cycling began with his father who raced in Germany After the family moved from Toronto four years ago to their Fifth Line home Mueller picked up cycling He said he thought It would be a good way in shape for the hockey season He played last year on the midget team That when he found he wasn In good sh ape to begin with Mueller Bald he entered his first race by the cycle club In three years ago and became totally discouraged He t up Different story So he says he didn bother going back for the rest of the races and instead just drove around the roads of Acton Year two woo a different story Lost year he could keep up on ordinary every day speed He knew the bike was the difference between keeping up and win Every week he put money Into the cause By Christmas with help from his father Mueller had built himself a special racing bike And now he says he has no problem keeping up No sir First he won the 10mlle race in Hamilton over other people Ho came third overall in three fivemile sprint races in and third In the Pepsi Challenge at Woods loci He was to have competed in Sudbury two weeks ago but t get up there The results of those three races have qualified him for the Ontario Summer Games in Peterborough next month In the meantime Mueller said he is rac every weekend each cycle club spons ors its own race as well as competing in two training races during the week Mueller can ride anywhere between 36 and miles an hour and he covers miles a week One night the cycle club which has ab out members practises riding bikes taking corners riding in packs going up hill taking the stretch properly and other techniques On the second night they train in long distance riding Then he trains three times a week at home And during the winter they train on a conveyor belt Mueller said by then he would be training every day There are plenty of people Involved in racing and they attract quite a number of spectators Mullcr said people usually are attracted by a crowd and then stay to watch the race Cycle races are popular in Europe where pros get paid to represent companies Races such as the Tour France are international events Mueller specially built bike Is an Inter national as the sport The frame is French the seat is Italian and the gears Shimo arc Japanese I started it to keep in shape Mueller says But It s totally different No one else is doing ft It not like hockey where you play dlf teams all the time Last season the midgets were good but there were lots of better teams that we t play In cycling you meet champions and former champions You know how good you have to be Champion competition He says hes raced against the ladles champion the provincial champion and a track racer who was third In the world a couple of years ago Cycle racing Is something like the Tour de France with a mass start a gruelling often hilly course anywhere between 10 and miles and a finish line Whoever crosses It first wins Track racing is cycling around an oval track against the clock or against an op ponent Mueller said he would like to continue racing as Jong as he on Improving but to become an Italian racer well that another story To make professional it means you re a lot better than any amateurs You really have to be good 1 d like to ride In the Olympics you don t necessarily have to be the best but to be professional Mueller says he a long way from considering professional cycling He adds his father kceqs him in line After I won the race in Hamilton he told me to remember there were other races I still needed work And he Was right because I came in third after that He always glv me heck for doing things Mueller said he prefers competing on on individual basis rather than with a team as In hockey We have a team in cycling Three of us ride In one category the 1416 age group We are suppose to work together for the club and get first second and third But it doesn always work out that way At the end it every man for himself I don like short distance racing but as you get older the races get longer I like to race in the Canadian championships that a 60mile circuit in Montreal Like any other sport cycling has it dangers You can getsome pretty bud skin burns you fall There have been a couple of accidents at the races this year You also get ruined shorts and bit of a ruined bike Gruelling and fun He reiterates I race as long as I keep on improving You can see Mueller compete in the Guelph Memorial race next month O solo mio Tri Co report Haynes
