ex/bikeracer : : : the grass is always greener

Great conversation overheard the other day between a roadie and a budding multi-sport racer.

Roadie: “You’ve got to give up that triathlon sh*t.”

…

Note, that is the end of the conversation. Instead of thanking the budding athlete for their participation, complimenting him on his growing skill set, and open mind to try new things, he showed why roadies continue to turn off anyone and everyone.

Great conversation with a budding junior’s parents and team directors.

Roadie: “You’ve got to stick to the road only if you want to be successful.”

…

Yet another one-sided view of the world. What ever happened to “riding a bike for fun” and seeing where the chips may fall?

Seriously.
