Thank you Dave. This post, in it's entirety, answers the questions I had about you as a person and how your life in and out of cycling came to be. OCD focus/perfectionism and how this type of personality is wired is a topic of which I am intimately familar - particulary the part about finding harmony and balance. I found that, in order to affect change, it takes years of experience, a solid understanding of thyself and a equally focused effort/desire to incorporate new and foreign concepts. And more. Knowing this about you inspires me to read your book. Thank you for the insight.
