July 19th, 2005: "Amy Gillett Mourning Ceremony"

Zeulenroda, Germany, 17:30 CET -


July 20th, 2005: "Incomplete..."

Zeulenroda, Germany - "Incomplete". I am just listening to the song with this title. I am not sure who the artist is who sings the song, but it is a fantastic one. Moreover, it so mirrors how I am feeling right at this moment...and beyond this moment I am sure. There truly is a big sense of incompleteness in the air. Even though I hardly knew Amy Gillett, I feel this huge loss, the hole in this small and dense world of women's cycling. Our world is incomplete now; Not only the Aussie world is incomplete but the pedalling globe in its entirety.
...report from the tour to be contued, stay tuned...
