Great Quotes
Just found some GREAT quotes by Steve Prefontaine that are very applicable to cycling:
"How does a kid from Coos Bay, with one leg longer than the other win races? All my life people have been telling me, 'You're too small Pre', 'You're not fast enough Pre', 'Give up your foolish dream Steve'. But they forgot something, I HAVE TO WIN."
"A lot of people run a race to see who's the fastest. I run to see who has the most guts."
"To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the Gift."
"Somebody may beat me, but they are going to have to bleed to do it."
And my favorite:
"The best pace is a suicide pace, and today is a good day to die."
