Meet my new cycling friends (we connected this morning at Dunn Bros. in Plymouth when we were off-bike and on-iced lattes!). They have an inspirational tale to tell; I want to pass it on.
Ms. Cyclist (wish I'd asked her name) gushed how she loved the Tour de France. Not only do she and hubby (did not catch his name either) watch as much of the Tour telecast as they can but they ride their bikes every day the Tour is underway.
Last year a friend of the couple decided he'd do them one better. Not only did he pedal around the West Metro each day the Tour was being contested in France, but the old guy committed to logging in half the distance the pros did.
"How's your buddy doing," I asked? "He's still standing," was the reply. "But he never quite recovered from his exhausting performance last year. The hills nearly killed him."
