Spotted on Fox’s Reality TV (I’ll admit - I’m a little addicted to The Academy): interstitial commercials are showing very brief shots of Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman starring in Long Way Down. In case you haven’t heard what that series is, it’s the followup documentary to Long Way Round - a television miniseries that literally changed my life. And I don’t say that lightly, folks. While I rode around like an idiot when I was younger, I take the Wee very very seriously, realizing (in my advanced age) that enjoyment of the sport involves seriously buying into the responsibilities of the sport. Plus, I’m gettin’ 55mpg to and from work. Reliably.

If anyone ever wants to gain more understanding of why I bought a bike last year, they only need to watch - from start to finish - the 10-part series release in 2005. I’ve got a copy you can borrow any time.

Don’t bother calling on August 2nd of this year. I’ll be glued to the television set…
