Less than three days to go. The training rides are over. The next time I get on my bicycle will be in France. We have our fingers crossed for good weather.
In setting up this blog, which is a first for me, I was reminded of a column that Dan Henninger published in the Wall Street Journal a couple of years ago. Here is an excerpt from it:
"In our time, it has generally been thought bad and unhealthy to "repress" inhibitions. Spend a few days inside the new world of personal blogs, however, and one might want to revisit the repression issue.
The human species has spent several hundred thousand years sorting through which emotions and marginal neuroses to keep under control and which to release. Now, with a keyboard, people overnight are 'free' to unburden and unhinge themselves continuously and exponentially. One researcher quotes the entry-page of a teenage girl's blog: 'You are now entering my world. My pain. My mind. My thoughts. My emotions. Enter with caution and an open mind.'"
Welcome to my world. I offer no cautionary words, and I'll try to keep my "marginal neuroses" in some sort of check. I hope to just bring you impressions - both word and photo - of what I hope is our excellent adventure.
