I like to find a purpose for my rides; looking for the meridian, artesian springs or brick castle towers have been some.
This guy goes a very long way past that. I salute him.
Some of the messages he carries have an importance that his ride to deliver them reflects.
His quest is the antithesis of today's instant electronic communication.
It's the same the whole world over
It's the poor what gets the blame
It's the rich what gets the pleasure
Isn't it a blooming shame?

Thanks, I enjoyed reading that!
Happy Christmas!
