5 WAYS TO MAINTAIN MOMENTUM
THERE ARE A FEW THINGS I'M PRETTY GOOD AT ON A BIKE. One of them is momentum. I have to be...
... because I'm not very good at a lot of other things.
Momentum is free and can make the difference between victory and defeat...
... after we put in the work.
Momentum through a turn,
tucking a long descent,
the final sprint.
Those are the obvious areas, but what about the unseen momentum?
- Registering well in advance for a big race.
- Always doing all I can do everyday.
- Committing to a successful system and plan.
- Expecting good things to happen.
- Reviewing each milestone along the way.
Those are the keys to lifelong momentum.
Just yesterday the Stravaverse confirmed I have some momentum.
Up one particularly punchy hill, I knew I was going good.
We started from a dead stop at a light. I tucked in behind the younger, spicer rippers. It hurt. It hurt so good. The kinda hurt where you're dawgawn sure it's a special effort. As the gradient backed off, we could see the light ahead was turning red. They eased up, I pedaled on...
... the momentum too good to waste.
Where's the unseen momentum?
Nobody could see the squats I've been doing, the pound or two I've shed...
... I'm the only one who knows if I'm doing all I can do.

On the ride yesterday, I was smiling...
... so many of the posse were donning my Superlight Race Gloves
Maybe it's because the fit is so amazing,
or because there are so many color options,
or is it the heat sensitive thread to operate devices,
or could it be the insane buy one get one offer that's going on?
Whatever it is,
it makes me happy.
