第二届全美老年人奥林匹克运动会即将召开,托尼·B·奎西决定马上动身前往。这位已退休的64岁的空军发动机喷气技师骑上他的自行车,开始了从家乡新墨西哥州的罗斯韦尔到比赛地点圣路易斯的1403英里的漫长旅程。20天后,他终于跨进圣路易斯城准备比赛,并抱怨说“如果不是从东得克萨斯到西密苏里的乔普林一路下雨的话”,他会到的更早。 The Second National Olympic Games for the elderly will be held soon, Tony B. Quisi decided to leave immediately. The retired 64-year-old Air Force jet technician rode his bike to start a long journey from Roswell, New Mexico, home to 1403 miles of the race in St. Louis. Twenty days later, he finally stepped into St. Louis to prepare for the race and complained that “he would have arrived earlier if it had not rained from Joplin East Texas to West Missouri.”
