I often sing a little song my daughter made up... you need a bell for this.

"Crashing... and burning... is how we learn..." *ding* *ding*

Prey on the vunerable, decimate the weak.

my mantra is whatever is on my ipod fueled by adrenalin and most likely a false sense of confidence.

Ride to look good, and make sure others can see how good you look, because riding for yourself is worthless.

Something to that effect ;)

no pain, no pain, (repeated a billion times)...mind you, on my training rides that are 75+ miles

I want to get where I'm going as fast/efficiently as I can without inconveniencing anyone else around me.

Ever since I watched this video, that song is what plays in my head.

I think about getting my legs for ski season... feeling good/fit overall... being able to ride/run a decent(to me) distance and not be dying at the end... think about the burn my legs currently have on this effing hill and the top is right there - I can endure for a few more yards and then hit the flat... eating a bit more of what I want(vs what I need)... I'm not at my computer... fresh air... listening to everything drowned out by being in a car normally... to sum this up...

Life is too short, go ride your bike.

I ride the same way.

I don't really think about anything when I ride though, just focus on the moment and everything around me.

I forgot my favorite:

"At the top of a hill at a very rapidspeed there's only one place to go.
At the top of a hill at a very high speed there's nowhere to go but down."

"Bike Test 1 2 3"- Bomb the Music Industry!
