NOTES
John and I were "group zero" - sounds like a spy thriller doesn't it?
- well it had some real magic- we were first away of the 49 riders, and
the world slipped away and slipped further as we went up the first part
of the course though the sea of green fields, with the blue sky, and nothing
else in the whole world- John and I were riding next to one another, one
in each tire track, and it took me back to the first magic experience
when you first have a small bike and you realize you are free- and that
you can ride down ANY road ANY time YOU want to... as we went across the
fields, ahead of us an enormous bird of prey was startled and flew up
and away, its silhouettes like the diagram from the Peterson Book- a special
sight for the two of us as the first men out... - CJ |
