Today I had a sweet epiphany while ripping down a trail in ST George, UT. Getting old is not so bad, in fact its pretty cool. Smashing Pumpkins started to jam in my ear buds and instantly I was taken back to what seems like a lifetime ago, the early 90s. 2am training rides with great friends, racing all over the east coast, road trippin in one of the ugliest and coolest turtle top vans to NORBA nationals throughout the US, cooking grub on cook stoves in new, never seen before places, rock hard power bars, cytomax and of course great music. The blessing of this many memories can only happen with the accumulation of time. Hard to describe just how cool it was to rip along listening to smashing pumpkins and have so many sweet memories flood my mind for what seemed like an hour. I will forever be grateful for the joy bikes have and continue to bring my life. So simple yet so beautiful. There is a lot of life out there to be lived and many memories just waiting to be created and shared. Really living takes a lot of effort Ive learned...it takes work as memories rarely create themselves. For me personally the hard effort really living is, is worth the reward. Tomorrows ride calls for some Pearl Jam and Rage Against the Machine Im thinking.
