What can I say – you bring life to every ride and your story telling ability is second to none.

This is inspiring, partly because I'm on a similar curve - haven't yet done a century but know it's now possible and just around the corner. I think I'm making a date with the Pioneer Century in June. And if that goes well, I want to start riding brevets with the Oregon Randonneurs. Congratulations!

He tried it for the first time this year and happened to start 6 years after the competition and started in the most difficult weight class. I always have him read your posts because they are so inspiring. He's read the post about the brakes being stuck about 10 times. I'm sure he'll read this one over and over too. Thanks. Although cycling and wrestling are very different sports he identifies with the upward struggle and the desire to overcome the physical and mental to achieve goals.
