“One of the reasons I ride is because it hurts at times.
There's a certain discipline and freedom that comes when you push yourself to the limit. There have been times when my heart is about to jump out of my chest, my tongue is dragging in my spokes, and I'm sucking wind like a vacuum cleaner.

And just when every nerve and fiber screams you can't do any more, somebody jumps and you take off after him, forgetting the pain.

Later when you look inside yourself, you see things a little deeper, a little wider, and a little clearer. You realize that you can do things you never thought you could.

Your dreams get a little bigger, your hopes a little stronger.”

- Rich Griffith, Cyclist
