Quote from above article: "I have been on the desert floor numerous times in the past and it has never been easy to 'get it together' and continue to the finish line. But I am possessed with a... truck full of tena...city, perseverance, discipline, and a will of titanium that helps to get the job done. Plus, I have a poster tapped on the side of my van that says 'The goal is to finish. I didn’t come all the way out here to quit.'"Read More

A wholistic approach to cycling
rediscovers, encourages, and
authenticates the universal nature of
outdoor performance skills. Tear away
the veil of sports specificity and the
wholistic athlete is catapulted into
a transcendent, transformative, and
transpersonal athletic experience. In this
realm, the wholistic seeker apprecia...tes
and uses the skills learned (or relearned)
in one sport to enhance athletic
expression in other sporting arenas. Call
it cross-training at an elevated level.
Thus cycling lends itself to snowshoeing
and to scuba diving, and vice-versa,
while all sports lend themselves to a
softer, more engaged pathway through
life.
In the wholistic state of being, barriers
fall away naturally and higher potential
is realized. From there, it is but one more
step to fully integrate these skills into
the arena of daily life. The proverbial
journey of a thousand miles begins with
but a single step. Catalyzing the journey
to wholistic training begins with but a
shift of perspective and energy. Click here for a few wholistic performance
tips for superior off-road cycling:
