Scott just brought this to my attention. What an incredible story! You are amazing! It also points out that although there a lot of selfish and mean spirited people in the world there are still people that are extremely caring!
3 years agoSorry to hear you're not fully fighting fit. Hopefully things get better soon.
There's a chance I will be able to venture a bit further soon, as I reckon my classes during the week may end soon. That'll free me up to get away.
Thrift shops are pretty rare here... I can't find one in Taipei.
Hi Graham,
Yeah, I posted that note when you first joined the cycleblaze site. But no big deal. For what it’s worth, I got an email notification of your reply, but nothing in “My Cycleblaze”, so I had to go back and reread your journal to make this re-reply, if that makes sense to you. Still as impressive now as it was then.
I’ve been dealing with some health problems that keep me tied to the house. Long exercise is not possible just now, but I’m optimistic for the coming year. Anyway, winter has set in here in Burgundy. If it’s not raining, it’s foggy and the temps hang in the single digits. So keep those lockdown ride reviews coming. I’m doing my best to absorb some second hand sunshine. There doesn’t seem to be any in the local thrift shops.
Cheers,
Keith
It was one of those days, Suzanne.
Hats off to those Berbers, who are tough cookies.
At least the sun was shining when I was in the water.
Hi, Keith... don't recall seeing your message here. Maybe the notification didn't work. It's not a day I'll forget, that's for sure.
How's life?
This day was even more gripping than the day before!
3 years agoGlad that happened, I must have missed it when it was first published.
3 years agoHi, Suzanne -- the journal got inadvertently bumped up after I made a minor edit. Still, it's good it's presented you with a chance to see where I rode. It was a great tour.
3 years agoSo incredible! Thanks for the wonderful photos!
3 years agoThat's an idea... but it will probably look far less dramatic once it's been through the Cycle Blaze filter.
3 years agoSwap it in as the thumbnail image for the journal.
3 years agoHave you not heard the Rough Stuff Fellowship's motto: There's no such thing as a dead-end.
3 years agoYes... obviously got place names mixed up there. Thanks for pointing it out. I've just corrected it.
3 years agoYes, this looks like an excellent plan.

I'll tell Debbie I'm amazing when she wakes up later!... I'll let you know what she says.
3 years agoMorocco - it's worth looking into going as it's close to Spain and ferries are not very expensive.
I've found people over the world to be good - it's rare to come across nasty folk - and I think being on a bike helps make us white guys more acceptable.
Talking of Spain, I know you plan to visit (again) and quiet roads there are not too hard to find, but it'll be different in the UK and more detailed planning is required. Just bear in mind the population of Spain is about a third less than the UK's, but the country is twice as big.
