The "Best" Way

I read an interview with Taylor Phinney recently. One insight he had really stuck with me.

On riding the pursuit in the Olympics, Taylor said, "it sucks so much and it’s so hard. It’s sort of like stabbing yourself in the legs and you have to figure out what the best way to stab yourself is."

It seems a lot of cycling is like that, you want to hide behind someone, keep your nose out of the wind, but if you're there to race, then inevitably you're there to hurt.

Here's the whole Velonews interview http://www.velonews.com/article/86485.

Awesome ride today, thanks for the laughs, and the sun.

Rest Well.
