The Rocky Sprockets Book of GENESIS”………In the beginning (my-beginnings) by Axle

Written by: Chromo

 

  • I started working at “Perkin-Elmer” in Wilton, Ct  on July 17,1978.
  • At Perkin-Elmer I met, worked with Dona-Jean Ostman and became friends.
  • Dona-Jean was engaged to Innertube.
  • Perkin-Elmer, July-1979, Dona-Jean brought me outside to a mobile-vendor “Norwalk-Valve & Fitting” to meet her close-friend Odometer.
  • Perkin-Elmer, Oct-1979, Marianne starting working at P.E. and with Dona-Jean. The 3-of-us became good friends.
  • Perkin-Elmer, April-1980, the “Sexual Artists” softball team was formed by J.P. Morgan. J.P. was Dona-Jean & Marianne’s Supervisor at Perkin-Elmer.  Dona-Jean and Marianne became our Softball Team’s “Cheer Leaders”.
  • June-1980, at the end of one of our Softball games, Dona-Jean and Marianne introduced me to their “Significant-others” Innertube and Down Tube. A couple weeks later at another Sexual-Artist gathering, Down Tube tried VERY hard to recruit me and Innertube to go on a 2-day Bicycle trip from Bethel Ct. to Rocky Neck State Park with his 2-other friends Top-Eye and Pumper. Innertube and I both said NO, due to we couldn’t see ourselves on a bicycle for a weekend.
  • 1981, Down Tube tried hard again for me to join him and his friend News-Peddler along with News-Peddler’s Cousin Dynamo for this weekend Bike trip, New Haven Ct to Danbury Ct. 
  • I said no thanks again. FYI, Top-Eye and Pumper were planning and doing their Cross-country bicycle trip to California that summer.
  • 1982 Down Tube wouldn’t give up. It took him 2-years to convince me. I finally gave in and  joined him in 1982. “Long Distance Bicycle Riding”, what a GREAT activity/Sport to be involved in!!!  It took me and Down Tube 2-more years to convince Innertube and Odometer to join us in 1984.
  • 1983, our biker-names were born!  Individually, we needed to select a bicycle-part that describes our personality. That’s when I became “Axle”.
  • 1984, Me and Down Tube recruited our friends Innertube and Odometer to join us.
  • 1985, our bike group name “Rocky Sprockets” was born! At a bike-meeting at my house in Brookfield we decided we needed a “name”. Rocky Sprockets was Odometer’s idea/suggestion that won the vote. Our original logo was designed/created by Innertube with my wife Diane drawing it up at our Kitchen table.
  • 1985, our bi-monthly Rocky Sprocket’s Bicycle Group Meetings also was created. Tentatively every odd-month (Jan, Mar, May, Jul.-actual 3-day Bicycle Trip, Sep, Nov.) January is our “Business Meeting” to decide where our 3-day Trip is going to be yearly.
  • 1986, Pumper recruited his friend Handle Bar to join us.
  • 1987, we debuted our 1st generation Rocky Sprockets Tee-shirts.
  • 1989, Top-Eye recruited his Brother-in-law Caliper to join us.
  • 1989, Innertube recruited his Cousin Innertube’s cousin to join us.
  • 1990, Pumper recruited his Brother-in-law Tail Light to join us.
  • 1991, Tail Light recruited his friend Bob to join us.
  • 1992, I convinced my Brother Kick-stand to do our 3-day-bike trip with us, just 1-weekend to “feel-the-experience”, then maybe start his own bike-trip weekend with his friends/his age. Kick-stand is 18-years my junior. When I mentioned this concept to Kick-stand, he stated why would I want to do that , YOU GUYS are a BLAST!
  • 1994, Kick-stand recruited our Nephew Spoke to join us.
  • 1995, Kick-stand recruited his friend Pedal to join us.
  • 1995, Pumper recruited his friend Patch to join us.
  • 1996, Pumper recruited his friend Headset to join us.
  • 1997, We debuted our 2nd  generation Rocky Sprockets Polo-shirts.
  • 1997, Caliper and Top-Eye recruited their Brother-in-law Water Bottle to join us.
  • 1999, Kick-stand recruited his friend Front Fork to join us.
  • 2001, Caliper recruited his friend Quick Release to join us.
  • 2009, Pumper recruited his friend Sag-wagon. Sag-wagon, drove his car to our destination, with his NEW-Bianchi-bike on the back and never rode it.
  • 2011, Pumper recruited his friend Chromo to join us.
  • 2014, Axle re-created/re-printed our original Rocky-Sprockets logo Tee-shirts. Neon-yellow!! [actually this official color is: Safety Green………really?? ]
  • 2016, www.rockysprockets.com was created by Chromo (Chromo). 
    •    GREAT CREATION!!!!!  Thank you Chromo!
  • 2017, Dynamo (Dynamo) reconnected with the Rocky Sprockets. His last bike-trip was in 1981. WOW!  GREAT to have him back riding with us.
  • 2018, Top-Eye recruited his friend Freewheel to join us.

LOVE this photo I created, thought I’d share.

2017 Rocky Sprockets “SHADOW” show that we were “1-body”, but STILL 10-unique individuals, working to the same goal on our bike-trip weekend.

Goal: 3-days on a bicycle, safe and sound, leaving with a smile and arriving back with a smile! We did accomplish our goal!!!!!
