Adventure travelogue: Bolivia, Chile, Argentina mountain biking/mountaineering
"Chris Goulet" wrote in message news:5MVnd.197278$9b.142759@edtnps84... snip Chris Goulet not only hauls along three weeks of supplies through remote high passes, but also his entire high-altitude mountaineering gear and reaches the summit of Cerro Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Americas, and solos Nevado Ojos del Salado, the loftiest active volcano on Earth. Unsponsored and without outside support, he cycles on through surreal landscapes in absolute desert and across vast salt flats. More difficulties await in the steaming tropical rainforest. His unique equipment and techniques allow dreams to unfold. snip Tell you what I hate. Its when some writer talks about himself as if he were another different better person than himself. |

Tell you what I hate. Its when some writer talks about himself as if he were another different better person than himself. Lighten up Francis. Did you even bother to check out the web site? The intro on Chris's post is no different from the type of writing style you would see on the back cover of any adventure book. It may have been written by an editor or even the author himself. So what. If you had actually read any of his story on the site you would see that he only refers to himself as "I". Of course, for all I know you make take offense to that too. A journey like that is completely beyond my ability, so I am grateful when others are willing to share their tales and take me along for a grand adventure in my mind. Instead of trashing the guy with no good reason, I would prefer to praise him for taking on such a difficult adventure, then taking the time and effort to share that odyssey with other cycling adventurers (even shallow, trolling types like yourself). Hmmm... "a different better person than himself". I'm guessing he is exactly "himself". I don't know either of you chaps, but if I were a betting man, I would guess Chris is a "better" man than you. I've wasted enough of my time on you. Back to Chris's site for the rest of the outing. Cheers. Tracy |
