We aren't doing that
We’ve been pretty quiet. Truthfully, because we wanted to take a step back and listen. Have no real agenda other than working to build some new and meaningful relationships. Maybe because we both have no idea what the eff we’re doing, but I don't think anyone does. Racing provided a sense of structure and supplementary support for other aspects of our lives. Perhaps justifying the time we spend with friends. Sharing war stories where pain is always suspiciously forgotten. Emily and I are in parallel moments of change in our lives. To say that's inordinate, may not give credit to the times. We’re just here working to appreciate the little things. Thank you people of bikes, you really help us out. That’s the humanizing beauty of this sport. You can ride (or race) with one another while actively respecting another’s circumstance. Actively having the flexibility or capacity to get to know each other, well, is another thing to consider. It’s a thinking sport, and certainly our own form of expression and connection. There’s lessons anywhere if you look hard enough I suppose. We racing? Ya, whenever it makes sense and whenever we feel like it. That requires its own type and definition of discipline. A little more balance to make room for other priorities, and be a part of the sport in different ways. Just as any relationship we hold so dear, it continues to evolve. Let's be real, we work hard, so we are very grateful to be able to fuck around with our friends on bikes. We hope you’re making space too.
