YEAH BUT YOU'RE NOT

EVER HAD THIS HAPPEN? Me: Hey, I saw So-n-so is doing X. I'm going to do it. Them: Yeah, but you're not So-n-so. Me in my head: Damn right! Naysayers... what are ya gonna do? Listen to 'em? Agree with 'em? Let 'em bring ya down? Not me. The real question is, should they even be part of our future? It could mean death by a thousand cuts. Which brings me to that pic above. I plowed down a local single track . It's overgrown with thistle bushes. I persisted and pushed until it became impossible, impassable. It was a long ways. I should have turned back sooner.But, I hoped it would get better. Ever hear of old man power? That's where young guys quit and old guys ride on after riding the youngsters into the ground. It's not really an age thing, it's an experience thing. Like me in the thistles. I rode on. Way too far. Because I have old man power. Is it really for old men? No. Old men can do it because they have experience. Kids don't. Old men know there's life after pain. There's strength. There's confidence. That pain, makes power. Which brings me back to the naysayers... the moment you realize they are mental thistles and there's no getting through, turn around... never go back down that trail. Only a fool would do that. _____165.40/0Ride with us: click for info.
