We never seem to give ourselves credit for realizing the INTENT of our goal: the "I know I could continue if I really wanted to...." Good for you for having a goal. Good for you for getting as far as you did. Good for you for realizing that goals change. Have fun. Keep riding! I know this comment is late to the party, but…

Good for you for having a goal. Good for you for getting as far as you did. Good for you for realizing that goals change.

Have fun. Keep riding!

Hopefully, after reading about what happened to Ed and Fred last week on the Elite Tour, you are beginning to get the picture about the intensity of any PacTour 'outing.' I don't think you could have picked a more difficult way to cover the brevet series, then back-to-back series with Lon and Susan. Going for your first series and your first 1200 in the same year is a huge honkin stretch for anyone. You are a great rider - you gotta keep at it. So tell us what's going on - are you riding again? dr OK, Lisa, time to get back on your pony and ride.

You rock. Mad props to you for 1) achieving as much as you did and 2) having the courage to say “no thanks” when it wasn’t fun anymore. You rock.

If a hobby isn't fun, what is the possible point? Sounds like a good decision. Good for you! Lisa – I couldn’t agree more. If a hobby isn’t fun, what is the possible point?
