David Pain at 90 nominated for San Diego Sports Hall of Fame
Gordie Shields, an M90 cycling legend, made the announcement Saturday at David Pain’s 90th birthday party up the street from his home near San Diego State University: His longtime friend has been nominated for the prestigious Breitbard Hall of Fame at the San Diego Hall of Champions sports museum. Slam dunk it’s not. But it should be a no-brainer, considering he merely started one sports (masters track) and inspired another (triathlon). He’d be joining such no-names as Ted Williams, Bill Walton, Gail Devers and Steve Scott. My party highlight video shows Gordie’s remarks near the end.
David delights in a birthday card from one of several grandchildren at his party.

Hi David,
Nice to see you looking so spry. 90 years young and going strong way to go.
Your old pal is riding Hurricane Ridge for fun and games twice a week.
