Quotes by Charlie Walker (?)

“I had come to appreciate the peace and clarity that cycling with a hangover gave me. It was much easier to focus on just one thing, or even to attain the elusive blank state of mind that made the miles slip by unnoticed. Steering and watching the road for danger by reflex, the mind can climb inside itself and go to sleep.”
― Charlie Walker, Through Sand & Snow: a man, a bicycle, and a 43,000-mile journey to adulthood via the ends of the Earth
