The Ultimate Ride
The question was, which would the chemo kill first: the cancer or me? ~ It's Not About the Bike Anything is possible. You can be told that you have a 90-percent chance or a 50-percent chance or a 1-percent chance, but you have to believe, and you have to fight. Chemotherapy is war. If you worried about falling off the bike, you'd never get on. ~ Every Second Counts If you ever get a second chance in life for something, you've got to go all the way. How do you confront your own death? Sometimes I think the blood-brain barrier is more than just physical, it’s emotional, too. Maybe there’s a protective mechanism in our psyche that prevents us from accepting our mortality unless we absolutely have to. ~ It's Not about the Bike There are angels on this earth and they come in subtle forms. ~ It's Not about the Bike If children have the ability to ignore odds and percentages, then maybe we can all learn from them. When you think about it, what other choice is there but to hope? We have two options, medically and emotionally: give up, or fight like hell. A bicycle is the long-sought means of transportation for all of us who have runaway hearts. ~ Every Second Counts So if there is a purpose to the suffering that is cancer, I think it must be this: it’s meant to improve us.
My career is going to be played out year by year... The record won't keep me here. Happiness will. It's actually a high-speed chess match on bikes. ~ Every Second Counts
