Good morning cyclists,
(Please excuse this one-time-only announcement. I copied your email addresses last night from cycling-related
websites in Central Ohio. Please consider passing this on to friends and fellow club members.)
I am the editor of (and contributor to) The Bicycle Book: Wit, Wisdom & Wanderings, a collection of articles, stories and cartoons from a talented corps of 25 writers and cartoonists, including a Pulitzer Prize winner and cartoonists whose work has appeared in an array of leading publications--Discover, Dirt Rag, Reader's Digest, The New Yorker, Boys' Life, Forbes, the Washington Post and Oregon Cycling. The book also features an exclusive interview with Chris Carmichael, Lance Armstrong's long-time coach and friend, and musings of other all-stars like Dirt Rag publisher, Maurice Tierney, and Bike Culture founder and cycling announcer, Richard Fries. It's a tribute to bicycling by those who love to ride. My longest piece in the book is a memoir of a ride I took across Ohio as a young man, and the friendship I made with a fellow rider.
I'm thrilled to be rolling into the great cycling city of Columbus this weekend (on 4 wheels--wish it was 2!) to discuss and sign my new book at two events:
1) Fri. 5-9 p.m. in the vendor area of TOSRV registration at the Hyatt on Capitol Square
2) Sat. 1 p.m. reading/signing at Kafe Kerouac, 2250 N. High Street, Columbus 43201 | 614-299-2672
1) Fri. 5-9 p.m. in the vendor area of TOSRV registration at the Hyatt on Capitol Square
2) Sat. 1 p.m. reading/signing at Kafe Kerouac, 2250 N. High Street, Columbus 43201 | 614-299-2672

I'm looking forward to meeting you TOSRV riders Friday. If you're not on the tour, please consider joining me over a cup of coffee at my reading/signing at Kafe Kerouac on Saturday. If I miss you this weekend, perhaps I'll catch you June 14 at Bread-N-Brew Bakery and Coffee Shop in Wellington (Lorain County) on the day of the World Record Attempt at the 'Largest Parade of Bicycles'.
Thanks for your time and--always--enjoy the ride.
Best,
