It's not always about the podium...

This past weekend, I led a super mountain bike clinic for beginners.  Although the ability levels varied, most had limited trail and even cycling experience.  As an avid racer and race supporter, I would like to hope that some would dip their toe into the world of competitive cycling, I understand that pinning on a number is not for everyone.

Thinking about this made me reflect on a post that I wrote last summer, and it's worth revisiting.  In my opinion, even the die-hard racer should take a step back from time and recognize their small victories and take time to enjoy the journey.  As Ferris Bueller said, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
