Focus On The Positive

I must work hard each day in order to improve. I must improve on little things, such as diet, rest, recovery, and relaxation when the time calls for it. I must also work hard, train hard, and ride hard when it is the proper time. I must remain patient and confident in key moments. And I must always focus on the positive.

Busy Weekend

I picked up 4 wins this weekend.

Mountains

I ride the mountains. It is my favorite place to ride. I may not be the very best climber, and I may be the very best descender. So when I go ride up hills and mountains I am in my favorite domain, and where I can work on all my cycling skills.

Armstrong- Got me into Cycling, besides Dean Meyer

I try and learn off of Armstrong. He is the Ultimate Fighter. I try and learn off his riding style and his technique. In 1993 Armstrong inspired me tremendously by his racing style when I watched him in person. I knew right then I wanted to be like him, the Ultimate Fighter on a Bicycle. I was a huge Armstrong fan before he did any of his legendary rides. When I watched him battle on the bike in 1993, in Monterey, he made me want to ride like him- some how- some way.

No Guts-No Glory

Live by the sword- Die by the sword.

I have the inner drive to succeed. It is begging to be released. I believe in myself and simply want the opportunity to try to win.

I must never doubt or be timid.

I must take advantage of life and try my very best to be my best.

Trying to win is not easy, and it does not always work out the way I want it to.

I just pray to have the chance to work hard and put myself into a position of success and victory.

Rider Down

Too fast into a corner, can not make turn in my lane, going too fast to stay in my lane, road slick, night ride, car coming in other lane, RIDER DOWN. It could have been really bad, it was only a matter of a few feet and a few seconds.

So many other riders have not been so fortunate.

I race for those who have been less fortunate!

I was very lucky tonight. All my crashing experience saved me. And GOD saved me.

Thank You God for giving me another chance to race and be even better, stronger, and faster!
