December 22nd, 2009 · 2 Comments

Everyone we met on the road in California said some variation of the same thing: be afriad of Tijuana. Apparently they felt it was their civic duty to cast a cloud of dread over the next stage of our journey. Well, they succeeded, in part. I felt a thrill running through me from the moment [...]

Pedaling Revolution in Portland

Moins de 16 heures…

September 3rd, 2009 · 1 Comment

Le décompte est commencé, plus que quelques heures pour tout finaliser.  Pour se mettre dans l’ambiance – ceux qui me connaissent bien savent que j’ai des goûts parfois discutables – voici deux bonnes vieilles tounes que j’aime écouter ces temps-ci…
