Life is too sweet and too short to express our affection with just our thumbs. Touch is meant for more than a keyboard.

In high school you just kind of go with it, you belong to a sport and you're lettering and there is a very social part. With cycling, a lot of people will steer away because you can't letter, and lettering is still cool and it's very important for scholarships and other stuff.

Disappointment is a sticky one, because no one can steal contentment, joy, gratitude, or peace - we have to give it away.

I want to get more comfortable being uncomfortable. I want to get more confident being uncertain. I don't want to shrink back just because something isn't easy. I want to push back, and make more room in the area between I can't and I can.

What I have learned about the sport of cycling is that you have to love it to do it because you're not going to retire off of it.

Cycling is such an endurance sport. I don't think it's the worst thing ever to start when you're in your twenties.

To me, there is no greater way to achieve clarity than to run alone, or share miles with a trusted friend.
