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.
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." 🚴♂️

Adin, I'm an avid cyclist and "Sprinting" is just what I needed this cold and snowy January here in Utah to get excited about my group rides to begin as soon as spring weather arrives.! I rode 5500 miles on Antelope Island (about 15 minutes from my home on bike) in 2021 with my "Pirates on Antelope Island" riding group. 🏴☠️
Thanks for bringing the 1919 TdF to us! It's such a well researched and perfectly written book!!!

It was ALL there.
Thank you Adin!
Bravo! 🚴♂️
