October 30, 2020Why should someone try ultracycling for the first time?
You should try ultracycling because you don’t know what you can do until you do it. It’s an enormous challenge and confidence-building exercise that enriches your entire life.
Why do you compete in ultracycling?
I do not compete to win (although that sometimes happens, at least in my tiny age group). I’m always competing against myself. It’s a way to stretch and discover who you really are
What is the single best lesson you have learned from ultracycling?
The best single lesson I have learned from ultracycling is that, no matter how good or bad you feel, soon it will change. Wether it’s COVID or a 1200k, this too shall pass.
