ARE YOU RIDING OR DRIVEN?
SOME OF US ARE HAPPY TO BE RIDING, others are driven. Today, I ran into two of my pals. Each has huge, demanding events coming up this spring and summer. One is supremely confident...
... the other has a long way to go.
The one who is confident is doing BWR San Diego, a hellacious test of endurance and bike handling skill.
He's been training all winter.
When I saw him today he was on his race bike, a gravel rig. High up on the single tracks above our little town...
... ripping.
You ready?
Oh, yeah. All the dudes are scared. They know I'm coming for them.
We should all feel this sure of our selves before such a race.
But, it takes a lot work.
Hard work.
Prepration.
The less confident of my pals called me up.
I got into Leadville.
Are you training?
No, I just got over Covid - again.
Dang.
Yeah, but I'm ready to go.
Ok.
You've done it a bunch, I want you to train me and get me ready.
You're sure you're healed and ready for this.
For sure, I'm in.
Is he really ready for this?
I dunno, but we're gonna find out real quick if he's just riding it.
To be honest, I'm not sure there's a right way to do it. Both have their merits.
I only know my way, set an impossible goal and do everything possible...
... to make it happen.
