The snow has finally hit and it’s -2oC right now. The bikes are waiting for some service work, photos and videos of my last trip need to be posted and plans for next year are in the works. After a riding season, I often think about what it is that makes a person want to get out there every day. When I heard through my wife that pro surfer Andy Irons had died, I checked out some of his surf videos and his thoughts on why he rode really hit home.
“I surf because I am always a better person when I come in.” A. Irons r.i.p
True words whether you paddle out or pedal out. If you are still riding, enjoy it. If you are buried under winter, keep the faith.
