Book review
I know this isn’t the NYT’s book review, but thought enough of this to post. Lovely read, I didn’t know 98% of the riders, or 99% of the races, but was quite readable, with the history and antidotes about the riders, and the races. Also some very good history of Belgium, and some nice observations of the locals.

Found this at the dump this summer past. Have not had a chance to read it yet...
And this $1000 bill was also found, by my daughter, at the dump. The bill was tucked inside a very old Bible...

I got a call from Max Leonard, who did the book on Jobst Brandt. He is doing one on Tom Ritchey. Should be interesting.
