Average is Your Enemy.

Forever is a big word. I'm not going anywhere.

Marathons are hard because of the physical pain, the pounding on the muscles, joints, tendons.

It's simple. Success comes from training harder, living better and digging deeper than the others.

I'm not willing to put a percentage on the chances but I will no longer rule it out.

There were no shortcuts, I realized. It took years of racing to build up the mind and body and character until a rider had logged hundreds of races and thousands of miles of road. I wouldn't be able to win a Tour de France until I had enough iron in my legs, and lungs, and brain and Heart.

A bicycle is the long-sought means of transportation for all of us who have runaway hearts.
