- RIDE AWAY -

Ride Away

Life is a cycle in which we ride
where stray egos come out to play
A peloton of personalities and pride
All trying to ride away.

Confidence to the front, the unsure to the back
Separating the predator from the prey
But I can't hold back I must attack
And ride them all away.

When desperation pursues and holds my wheel
And misfortune blocks my way
My spear is carbon and the tip is steel
And I ride them all away.

When time attacks my body
With sickness and decay
I grimace my face and double my pace
And ride them all away.

When the clouds of life gather against me
Threatening sorrow and dismay
I face it's wind and dig within
And ride them all away.

As the chaos of life falls behind you
Leave them only one thing they can say
You came to race and set the pace
And rode them all away.

1st 2008 USCF training series overall

The training series starts in March and runs Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays nights, every evening until the end of September. The longest and most repetitive series I've ever been involved in. It wouldn't be such a big deal normally accept the fact that I muscled it away against the will of the entire Field of competitors. There whole focus was to contain and minimize my results. In the end they disappointed themselves, many questioning there own ability and status on a bike. I adsorbed there efforts, ever learning, there desperateness teaching and strengthening every level of my riding. It actually represents not the fastest, but proves who got the best workout.
