On September 18 my husband and I were visiting Nice. We're both big cycling fans, so one of our stops was the Cafe du Cycliste. While doing some shopping I noticed a cyclist in the back corner of the store rifling through a stack of packages. Thought how nice it was that the store offered this service as well as so many others. Never thought to look more closely at this guy but as we walked out the front door we realized it was Neilson! He had stopped to speak with another couple, hanging onto his bike and his small package. We didn't want to keep him any longer by asking for a photo as it was a drizzly gray day, but as we finished our day in Nice I wished we had said hello. I would have told him that my sister and I both enjoy your Substack posts so much. And of course what a joy it is to watch him during the races. ; ) So I'm writing today to thank you for sharing a window into your lives, to wish your daughter a belated Happy Birthday, and to wish you all the best as the cycling season rolls to a close later this fall. My sister and I are cheering you both on!
