A Bridge Too Far

We don’t have much time really.  In the final analysis, when are cycling days are over -and they will be over someday-how will we answer the question about how we performed.  I don’t mean from our family and friends, long since numbed to our plight and stories.  I mean the questions that will be rattling around in our heads like loose plastic water bottle cages on the backside of Knightridge after a hard winter.  Were you all-in?  Did you escape and get caught?  Or did you not show up at all? 

A Legacy of Our Own

Wednesday Worlds holds a unique place in the cycling psyche of Bloomington.  I had left work just a bit early to get prepared for the event. It was the 446 and Knightridge loop, always a large draw, and this was a perfect Wednesday as well for this important training race.  Sunny and warm, with finals well in hand at the University.   Many of the young riders already making plans for work over the summer.
