Why?

I miss the struggle, the hunger, the exhaustion. What is there without testing limits, taking a chance, or surviving the elements? Zoo life is unacceptable. I need the escape to what's real.
Got out for a shortened SSR. 40/17.5

? Is there a race in your future?

Racing is in my past. All you do in racing is try to go faster than the other guy...whatever it takes to win. What I'm writing about here is going faster than yourself, beyond yourself, outside of yourself. Not seeing yourself compared to all the other animals in the zoo, but just seeing yourself, and being.

I think of it as pushing beyond your personal limits. Every little push creates a small smile within myself. I use race mountain bike, but now it's all about my own personal challenge.
