Yay! Just finished the brilliant 'What's Going On?' by Mark Steel. Funny, impassioned, informed and touching.
Just in time I received a parcel from Amazon. In it I have a copy of Dancing Uphill, the biography of Charles Holland, the first English rider in the TdF. Loads of photos - brilliant!
As an aside, Butterfly reminded me last night, a propos of something else, that I had a box of books in the wardrobe, including my essential cycling books. I spent a happy hour leafing through 'Fellowship Is Life' by Dennis Pye, the history of the Clarion CC, and The Road Book of Great Britain, a map of routes for bicyclists and the emerging motorists, with profiles. Brilliant
