Here in San Diego, a few years ago, I ran into Marianne Berglund a few times on the road, and she always said hello. I believe she is still in the area, still fit, and someone (I have to check into this) told me she was teaching Spin classes at the gym up the block from my house. Haven't seen her on the road, but that does not mean she is not out there.
On another classic rider thread, John Howard lives a few miles from me, I see him weekly going one way or the other, and he also is very friendly. He trains folks privately and in groups. Twice his group has absorbed me while in a paceline, and after riding behind me a few pedal strokes, John rode up next to me, put his hand on my back, and invited me to ride along.
