I just finished reading "Sprinting Through No Man's Land" and am so appreciative of your extensive research and bringing this 100 year old story into today!

(You said it and you made it happen!)

I was able to ride with the cyclists and see and feel what they were experiencing. Their lives, the landscape around them, the terrible aftermath of the Great War, the TdF of 1919 and the true winner of the race.

It was ALL there.

Thank you Adin!

Bravo! 🚴‍♂️

I did 2 a day Spin classes this week, I feel like my season is in full swing! 🤣

BTW, I won't be doing two a days any time soon. Haha

Thanks Adin, loving where I'm at in "Sprinting". The last sentence describes once again so perfectly how tough these guys were, "They knew they'd have to contend with long distances on the remaining stages, on roads that had been damaged beyond what any man or country could repair in so short a time." 🚴‍♂️
