I crouched down below wheel height to improve my visual experience. I looked up at him as he neared, heard the chain, in the Big Ring, up to and a foot in front of me. And then he was past...It was astounding, and a spectacular feat of sport. Beautiful, and Ferocious. Gigantic. Epic. Battling, as if To The Death.
