A mission statement for life, but often a difficult path to navigate. Having recently passed 50 I still feel very much like an apprentice seeking that elusive wisdom to know the difference.Â
Usually when I set my alarm for the crack of dawn it's to catch a flight to a race, but today was different. I had an exciting adventure in the Sangre de Cristo Wilderness ahead of me and the 4:30 AM wake up was made easier knowing this.
I didn’t ride a bike much as a kid because I was plenty happy and busy with my running, singing, hiking and general outdoor fun. I also had a pretty gnarly crash as a kid that kept me away from bikes.
Maybe it's because he lives in Utah and we wouldn't run into him all that often, but Alex always seemed like a mysterious Jedi warrior who'd show up at races, kick everyone's butt in the nicest way possible
It may only be the first week of April, but my race season is already fully underway. Thus far I’ve raced the Bonelli Park Pro XCT, Fontana Pro XCT and the Pan American Championships in Cota, Colombia.
