my buddy Karl sent me this quote today.
I thought it was bad ass.
I hope you do too :

From Peter Winnen Two time Alpe D'Huez winner.

"The moment you get rational in a bike race is the moment you lose your power. I also think that to achieve something,some destruction is necessary. Either you must destroy ideas or the barriers of your own body. Achievement rarely occurs without some destruction. In a bike race you destroy what you think you can do, and discover that you can do more."

worth a thought...
