Went to dinner with my friend Mckay tonight. He was in town on business. Which is weird since he’s the biggest party planner I know, it’s hard to square with his business empire. The last time we were together was Moab 2016.
His plan: let’s ride the White Rim Trail in a day. That’s 100 miles of incredible views on 4×4 road.
Before that we did the entire Tour of California.
We did the 24 hours of Moab race on a 4 man team.
We took the families to Moab 20 years ago and walked along dinosaur prints.
We rode a bunch of sweet single track in NorCal where he lives and rented cabins in Tahoe with the families.
Ya need a guy like McKay to be part of your life. Someone that’s always on the look out for an adventure… a “I wonder if we could ride from here to there in a day”.
He’s always inviting me, and I don’t go nearly enough.
Anytime I come up with an idea, his answer is nearly always the same… “let’s do it!”
On these adventures there’s always time to talk, hash out the ways to approach the current stage in life.
We ended tonight talking about The Life Of Pi. He’s the only person I’ve met that understood the meaning of the book the same as me.
“If you stumble about believability, what are you living for? Love is hard to believe, ask any lover. Life is hard to believe, ask any scientist. God is hard to believe, ask any believer. What is your problem with hard to believe?”
― Yann Martel, Life of Pi
