“If you don’t fall, you’re not riding hard enough!”
That’s an old mantra of mine.
So if you don’t totally lose control of your bike at some point during your hard ride, then, you just aren’t pushing your limits. You’re holding back.
So yesterday, I was there, almost there. I can feel it in my blood, surging, pushing through my arteries from my heart to my brain.
I want to ride my bike hard enough that I lose control. That I am pushing my limits hard enough, that I slide out of a turn, hit my shoulder on a tree, or just not make a technical up hill.
I did my lap at NS in under an hour. Just missing a tiny 15 minute section.
I’m ready!
