Lol thanks. Obviously, it’s about being yourself. Just had to offer the correct praise for such a legend. Yeah, honestly journaling saved me from dark times and cycling saved me from even darker times - so they offer a great combination.

I read the snows of kilimanjaro
As Harry, the character in the book dies of gangrene his mind travels back to being in paris
There he remembers a woman who picked up l'Equipe newspaper and reads about her husband who finished third at the Paris Tours race. He mentions l'Equipe as being a yellow newspaper
Paris Tours is no longer held I believe so I thought that was kinda cool because the book was published in 1938

Alive and well and living, well, between Chartres and Tours.

Agreed, when I cross EH discussing bikes, it's a treat.
