gotta listen to my own advice... step up and ride as I best I can... and accept the results as they happen

racing bikes brings about a certain level of anxiety

I have no love for the lump in my throat and the butterflies in my stomach

pre-race anxiety is way the worst

but... we can not collapse in the face of our demons

we need to stand strong and face them

I always instruct my children to play through... to ignore these things... to simple line up and when they say go... ride their bikes

race with passion and heart

the boys do not get all the guidance to

give it all you have got

leave it on the course

ride it like you stole it

because I do not want to increase the anxiety

okay...
time to check my bags and throw them into the car
