Who do you think you are?

You’re not the fastest, the raddest nor the biggest risk taker.

You’re not the most social. No one really knows who you are.

Sure, you’re working in that area but most others there, they don’t see you as ‘one of them.’

You’re not part of the in crowd.

You don’t go to the events.

You’ve never competed.

You don’t have a reputation besides being a bit weird and at times somewhat pouty.

And you expect to be able to organize people, find support and make magic happen?

To quote my Nanny - You’ve got more nerve than Dick Tracey.

Good luck.

All those critics?

They’re in your head.

And the rest of us?

We’re behind you.

Now go ride your bike.
