| “He doesn’t need any money; all he needs is his rucksack with those little plastic bags of dried food and a good pair of shoes and off he goes and enjoys the privileges of a millionaire in surroundings like this.” - Jack Kerouac |

| My former 'athletic' life as a
bike racer is just a blur—accelerating out of corners, lap after
lap. Bike racing success requires speed, endurance, bike handling
skill, a tactical sense, and patience. Riding in a peloton (pack) is like driving in a bumper-to-bumper traffic jam at highway speeds. You have to be aware of what's happening with the course and the riders around you while you hold your position in the pack. Crashes happen, so you need quick reflexes and a calm attitude. As this action takes place you have to consider flow of the race—challenges of the course, team tactic dynamics, individual rider's capabilities, distance left. It keeps the mind busy as the body works near redline. |
