I was out for a short bike ride last night on the Mirror Lake Myway where I was passed by a total of 5 cars in one hour. I love riding on that road before the Mirror Lake and other campsites open up.
As the sun was setting a fiery red I turned around at the 10 mile mark, slipped on my new Pearl Izumi vest, upped the volume on my iPod and rocketed back down toward Kamas with 1100′ of advantage to help me along.
As I rode steady in the big chain ring and looked down at how well my legs seemed to be working for me, my thoughts went back to just over 2 years ago when I was bald and recovering from surgery on my brain. This happens from time to time, usually when I’m out in the backcountry or doing something solo. It also happens when I see something of beauty or share a priceless moment, often with my children or wife.
So it was while racing down the road, my mind thinking of my fortunate extension of life, that I remembered this video. And I wasn’t even wearing my Team Discovery kit!
