June 2005: The Handsomest Man in Cuba wins a Silver Award, 'Travel Essays', ForewordMagazine.com Book of the Year Awards, 2004. Not to be confused with the Pulitzer and Nobel prizes for literature, Foreword magazine caters to USA libraries and booksellers who are interested in independently published books. Thank you to the 1000 folks who bought the USA edition by Small Wheel Press (designed entirely on Lynette's 12" Powerbook G4 laptop), the 4770 folks who bought the Random House Australia edition downunder (unfortunately no photos in that edition), and more than 150 folks who have written reviews, especially the thirty five-star reviews on Amazon. There are 500 copies left, with Silver Medal sticker attached, signed if you ask, buy from Lynette, Bike Friday, Amazon, Powell's Portland, Dymocks Australia.

Lynette has just ridden and critiqued the Cycle Oregon Weekend, June 25-26, 2005.

Note: This is a shot of me at Bike Friday with my ForewordMagazine Book of the Year certificate, pointing to the poster of me in Cuba. And to the left above my head, with his Bike Friday, is Phil Liggett, Voice of the Tour de France!
