He Who Goes Before - March 8th

There's someone ahead of me. I can see his tyre tracks in the snow and this time they are definitely not mine.

In some ways I am comforted. If he can make it then so can I. But then I wanted to be first. The first down the Danube this year. The first arbinger of Spring with other cyclists to follow. Yes, I wanted to be the first to bring this message. And now I'm not. It's a real shame. Of course, he may just have popped out to the local shops

  1. If the other cyclist ever sees you he is going to start getting a bit paranoid. But that doesn't mean that someone isn't out to get him.
