It began quickly, and it was over even sooner. But for the several hundred people who either stayed up late or woke up early, every minute was to be savored. There were smiles. There were tears of joy. There was hap­ piness. There was pride. Their boy had come home -- if only for a short time. To seven of the nine riders remaining in the "Race Across America *83," Harvard is just another one of the thousands of small towns they will encounter on their 3,150-mile transcontinental ride. They will come and go, knowing only that Harvard is the home of Lon Haldeman. But to Haldeman, and Woodstock's John Silker, Harvard is much more. It's where people line the streets at unheard of hours to catch a glimpse of the local hero. It's where volunteers open the high school to allow the bikers to shower and sleep in comfort. It's where cafe owners open at 3 a.m. to accommodate hungry, weary loyalists. It's home. At 3:36 a.m. today, Haldeman was greeted by a crowd of more than 300 people, including his family, well- wishers, several television crewmen and others who all came to salute the best ultra-marathon cyclist in the country -- if not the world. They came in droves with banners, flowers, flags and a sense of unity with the 25-year-old cyclist known to outsiders as simply "Marathon Lon." His grandparents, Edwin and Margaret Haldeman of Fontana, Wis., also were on hand to greet him. "We're excited, of course, but I don't-know if we'll get near him ... don't want to stop him," his grand­ mother said. In addition to Harvard residents, folks from Woodstock, Alden, Marengo and Crystal Lake were in the crowd who came to cheer Haldeman on. "This is history in the making," one said to the another as smiles were exchanged and excitement shared. Truckdrivers on cross country trips to parts unknown drove through downtown Harvard in the wee hours and wondered at the large crowd concentrated around "Harmilda" the cow. John Berryhill and his 10-year-old son Brian and 8-year-old daughter Laura, plus their dog "Sprockett," were in that crowd. "We all came out to see Lon," Berryhill said as the crowd began to close in when their hero cycled in. For the first time since stopping in Des Moines, Iowa, Haldeman got Qff his bike and faced the bright lights and the crowd. He took out a half- gallon carton of milk and, with Harmilda in the background like a guardian angel, drank the "moo juice" down. At the corner of U.S. 14 and Ayer Street, Haldeman patfently answered questions, but his fatigue was ap­ parent. His eyes were bloodshot, his voice monotone and his face a weary, although well-tanned mask. "I wasn't sure what time I should get here," Haldeman said, not in­ tending a pun, although the crowd, who had been waiting since 2 a.m., laughed at his remark. "Looks like a pretty nice turnout." He said he felt better when he reached Harvard at 4 a.m. than he did several hours earlier. But he admitted to "not feeling very good" and ex­ periencing "a feeling of total run- downness. "I hope you give the other riders this kind of welcome," he told the crowd with the aid of a bullhorn. "Harvard is a great place to live and come from. I'd like them to know that." Haldeman also said his physical condition was fine, and he added that was the key heading into the final 1,065 miles of his journey. condition was fine, and he added that was the key heading intoy muscles are in better shape than last year, that'll be important." He acknowledged that he knew how close second-place cyclist Michael Shermer was and that the distance affected his riding somewhat. "Yes, I'm pushing myself hardey than normally," Haldeman said. j "Shermer is doing real well," said John Marino, the man who created this spectacle called RAAM '83. "He's planning on winning, and right now he's riding the race of his life." Marino said the main reason for Haldeman's strong showing is his conditioning. "He's incredibly strong. He can go as fast as he Wants to go," Marino said. "Who knows, it may be genetics. It may be his lifestyle. He's got the body of a 25-year-old, he recovers quickly and he's strong, and at the same time, he's got the mentality of a 35-year-old. He's set, he's stable and he's real solid -- the perfect ultra- marathon cyclist." Following a photo session with his wife, Susan, his parents, Ed and Mary Jane Haldeman and grandparents, Haldeman, obviously anxious to get back on the trail, mounted his bike and headed toward Marengo, then on to DeKalb and Champaign, "When are you going to finish " someone in the crowd yelled to Haldeman as he sped away. But before he could answer, another spectator yelled, "Ahead of everyone else." As Haldeman continues on his way today, another RAAM cyclist, John Silker of Woodstock, is expected to arrive in Harvard between 10 o'clock and 11 o'clock tonight. After the match play of August 2, Mar Ray took a big lead of 9^ points. They now have 74 points. Nowak and Top Deck are tied for second place with 64Vfe. Little Chef is only one point behind with: 63%, Blue Camel has 63, McHenry Floral 55, Steffans 51 and Fox Hole 43%. Tuesday, August 9 was an ideal day for golf. The early morning, a delightful 70 degrees, was a welcome relief from the 90 plus tempertures we have been having. This scribe, in a foursome with Nancy McAuliffe, was transfixed by her tremendous drive on 16. It had to be over 250 yards! • ^ We didn't hear of any bifds. Doris v Freupd bad a neat chip-Ap on/si* and Louise Smith and Wanda Gehrke each one putted hour holes and had low putts of 14 for the nine. After observing some of our younger members, we realized that golf, unlike good wine, does not im­ prove with age. But we are glad it is game that can be played and enjoyed at any age. .
