    DO YOU TAKE NATURE BREAKS WHEN RACING?

    DO YOU TAKE NATURE BREAKS WHEN RACING?

    MY FRIEND KEVIN ASSURED ME THERE WAS NO WAY TO WIN LOTOJA, without being able to pee off the bike.  You know, coasting.  He'd shamelessly practice the technique...

    ... in the most awkward places.

    Wind, people.  
    Didn't matter.

    But, here's what does matter...

    ... that we take the nature breaks.

    Not those.

    These.

    Actually in nature.

    The last couple of weeks, lots of my friends - maybe you! - have been posting pics of their rides in the mountains, and it is reminding me of...

    ... the amazing summer I had last year.

    6 weeks in Colorado and Utah.

    High up in the trees, mostly boondocking on side roads.
    The solitude,
    quiet...

    ... and lack of reception.

    Completely unplugged,
    however brief,
    is a blessing.

    Tomorrow, I'm heading up to Big Bear and I'm planning to boondock,
    hidden in the forest,
    under the stars.

    Saturday, it'll be game on for a 50 mile gravel race.

    They've changed the course multiple times.  My pal Eric has pre-ridden it and assures me a mountain bike will be faster...

    ... so I put some 45s on my gravel bike.

    I wish y'all luck this weekend, and if you have to pee...

    ... I wish you even more good luck!

    Manifesto

    Pretty good “for me", is not good enough.

    Only knowing there was nothing left to do will satisfy.

    I demand all the talents God has given me be searched, activated and deployed.

    Giving anything less than everything, is failure.

    I define my wins not by others, or trophies, but by my soul’s golden standard.

    I’m in pursuit of impossible.
