Proverbs from a Bike Trip

You need support (the SAG wagon).

Appreciate simple things (water)

It helps to keep the leaders in sight, then you can follow
them. Otherwise you have to read the map yourself.

It helps to have a map.

Stop when your friends stop.

Work hard.

Enjoy the breaks.

Keep the goal in mind.

Eat a lot (you'll need the energy).

You need good equipment.

Equipment failures affect the whole team.

Everyone is not in the fast group.

Keep going, you'll make it.

Sometimes you can see a long way down the road,
sometimes you can't.

You will make some wrong turns.
Turn around, go back, go the right way.

Did I say enjoy the simple things ?

Good planing makes it all happen (thanks Wayne).
