Where randonneuring medals go — Mostly Bikes x Me (2025)
Source: Original · Readwise highlight
Piled in the corner of a folding table at the Carpentras Sunday market: a lifetime of randonneuring accomplishments.
- Role: setting
- In the article: The author finds a vendor’s heap of a former cyclist’s (M. Richard, 1965-1985) audax medals, flèche vélocio cards and Paris-Brest-Paris and BPF brevet cards.
- Why it matters: The market is where the cycling memorabilia surfaces; the post is a small elegy. Earlier progress notes judged Carpentras thin.
