Favorite bits:
  • "When the wind is against you, it howls, and every mile is a struggle. When the wind is coming in to the side you have to lean into it. It keeps trying to push you into or off of the road. But when the wind is with you it goes totally silent. You stop noticing it at all. You only know you are going very fast, and going fast is easy."
  • "In the afternoon biking starts to feel inexplicably difficult. But when I look behind me I realize I'd been climbing a big mountain."
  • "But you love it. You got to keep doin' it."
  • "But it feels good, too, to let myself stop."
