Ventoux
- by John Ewing
One
year ago we published an article by John Ewing on his
participation in an Audax (an audacious bike
ride) of 200 km.
We
had wanted to put it in the Third Age section of Nurturing
Potential, but John was adamant. "I'm not
yet ready to be classed as a senior citizen. I'm
still in my mid-fifties." So we put his
article in the Health and Fitness section.
Well,
the mid-fifties are receding, but John's energy
and enthusiasm remain undiminished and in this latest
offering his trip was not only longer and more arduous,
but much more audacious, and is described with his usual
mixture of humour, observation and gentle
self-deprecation.
Readers
wishing to be reminded of his earlier exploits will find
