RIP Jobst Brandt

Over the twitters - just after eating lunch, after a meeting, frantic catch up...

I saw this entry (retweeted by Service Course)

"A cycling legend has pedaled into the sunset. RIP Jobst Brandt. Thank you for everything. rayhosler.wordpress.com/2015/05/06/job…"

crude cut and paste but effective

And this stuck with me:
"If you disagreed and didn’t have the facts to support your argument, you were just another crackpot."



There are a lot of crackpots out there. Facts. Back your shit up. And don't you dare try to think you're going to make friends if you are fighting dogma built on back science/belief with facts.

Reading the story about his rides, I think he would have f'n loved the RdR.

Give Laurence Malone's essay a read (linked there in Ray's blog post).

respect and thank you Jobst, thank you
