I heard James Garner, one of my favorite actors, reciting this poem in the background of an ad for the Chevrolet Tahoe. I thought it expressed my feelings about cycling almost perfectly. I did an Internet search and I found that it was ad copy written by Patrick O'Leary for the Tahoe ad. A few days later I found the photo below and it just seemed to be a perfect compliment to the poem. Hope you enjoy both. -- Jim

Here's a letter I got from Dick Vershuur in response
to a message I sent to let him know I was using his photo: Dear Jim, While cycling thru the US, we stayed with people and occasionally watched TV. While in Macon, I saw the commercial you refer to, and for a few days I wished I'd remembered all the words. b e a u t i f u l ! And now... you send us the lyrics! Strange huh? Thank you very much! Please keep it on your website. From where we are now (Cuba) we cannot copy it. Tailwinds! Home | Remembering | Cycling | Flying | Misc |
