Doing the Ranndonee du Centennaire last summer, cycling around Paris in a large
bunch of blokes, this middle-aged fatbirdonabike was well chuffed when a lady
gendarme called out to me "Courage madame! Courage!" The literal meaning is
courage, but I think the context was more of a "You go girl!" sort of thing.
