Who was Frank Stark?

Frank Stark was a member of the Boca Raton Bicycle Club and a former airline pilot, forced to retire because of quadruple by-pass heart surgery and two heart attacks. As part of his recovery, Frank took up cycling and celebrated his birthday by riding one mile for each year of his age. "It was just me, the bike and the road," Frank said. "I wanted to see if I could do it." Each year a few more friends from the club would join in and in recent years we have had as many as 700 riders. Frank ultimately succomb to heart failure so we continue this annual event in honor of him. He would want us to keep riding for our health and for the fun of it.
