"You can’t remember important occasions like your girlfriend’s birthday or Valentine’s Day but you have committed to memory the dates of all races coming up over the next six months."
"The green bag was once my very favorite travel bag. Technically a duffel bag, it's waterproof, has lots of compartments, can be worn like a backpack, and can expand if needed. I had taken that bag all over Western Europe, Eastern Europe, the South Pacific and North Africa. It had served me well as luggage, as a backrest, and as a pillow in many an airport and on many overnight train rides. Then Dan got a hold of it."
"You postpone visiting your dying Grandmother in the hospital so that you can get your training ride out of the way before it rains; it’s too late when you finally arrive but you don’t really have any regrets."
"And so with that I vow here and now to continue to support Dan the amateur bicycle racer for as long as I have him, in good weather and bad, in last place or next to last place, so help me Eddy Merckx."
