Incredible stuff. Anyone who thinks they have it rough these days should read this. Imagine being held by the contemporary Torquemada the Grand Inquisitor for three days because of an intercepted thank you letter.

I can't even imagine living during that time. This is a must read, redefines the term "cycling hero." Thanks for posting.
