Hey All, Just for the sake of clarity, I am the OP and the only other post on this particular subject/thread from me was the very first one in which I shared the review of JR that 'george the cyclist' had written. So, not only did I not make mention of anything relating to cannabis, the

Hey All, Grant his the courage to speak his mind. I like this, but it almost ensures that any one person will not like everything Grant says. That includes myself. The one recurring thing I hear inside my head while reading something from Grant is that he loves bikes as much as I do. That does

Book has been out for what, 5 months and now a review? End of year sour grapes edition or something? Pretty nastily written when he has to harp on for almost a whole paragraph about how long the book was or wasnt. I think what people like this george person miss is that sarcasm and wit are funny,

George isn't the world's clearest writer. Did he like the book, or dislike the book? Hard to tell. Clearly he's got an axe to grind, but his criticisms are pretty unfocused. The most specific criticism is that some racing stats were inaccurate? -- You received this message because you are

My reaction exactly. He spent three paragraphs obsessing about some details about Tour de France trivia that Grant misstated. I'm sure that diehard TdF fans care about them, but most people don't. On Mon, Dec 10, 2012 at 9:55 AM, Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery thill@gmail.com wrote: George
