Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Weve know each other for so long
Your hearts been aching
But youre too shy to say it
Inside we both know whats been going on
We know the game and were gonna play it

And if you ask me how Im feeling
Dont tell me youre too blind to see

Give you up. give you up
Give you up, give you up
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, give you up
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, give you up

I just wanna tell you how Im feeling
Gotta make you understand

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

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.
