If you like these photos I will have some more on the new blog coming soon
The road bike had originally belonged to the great New Zealand road man
Richie Thomson,who unfortunately passed away last year.

I think that extending the life of a fallen rider, through words and images, for a few months, perhaps years, is one of the kindest and most noble of human activities. For it is as James Dickey has written: "Lord, let me die/but not die out."
