It Works Better For Me To Be

Cycling Is So Hard, The Suffering Is So Intense, That It’s Absolutely Cleansing. The Pain Is So Deep And Strong That A Curtain Descends Over Your Brain….once; Someone Asked Me What Pleasure I Took In Riding For So Long. ‘pleasure???? I Said.’ ‘i Don’t Understand The Question.’ I Didn’t Do It For The Pleasure; I Did It For The Pain.

It Works Better For Me To Be Nervous And Hungry.

When You Win, You Don't Examine It Very Much, Except To Congratulate Yourself. You Easily, And Wrongly, Assume It Has Something To Do With Your Rare Qualities As A Person. But Winning Only Measures How Hard You've Worked And How Physically Talented You Are; It Doesn't Particularly Define You Beyond Those Characteristics.

What Matters Is Ultimately What Collectively Those People On The Street - Whether That's The Cycling Community, The Cancer Community - It Matters What They Think.

Regardless Of One Victory, Two Victories, Four Victories, There's Never Been A Victory By A Cancer Survivor. That's A Fact That Hopefully I'll Be Remembered For.
