"A little flask of whiskey and a cigar went with, so I could celebrate my 72nd birthday on Saturday, all by my lonesome self, on a rock, watching the sunset over Africa. A big thank you to the race organizers, it’s a spectacular route and definitely worth an honourable first place on every cyclist’s bucket list."

I’m a bit deep into this now for too much new self discovery but still found a little bit of new ability to set a goal and chase a plan, for 22hrs.
