Ramble to the End of the Earth

Ben Abrams — Wed, 09 Mar 2016 08:18:26 +0000

Covering 3000 miles over 2 weeks, it gives a guy a lot of time to philosophize and I find there are many parallels to life on the dirt. Getting in our own way and making our own lives harder is typically second nature. Trips like these aid in un-training me from bad habits, both on and off the bike. Regardless of how slippery the surface, regardless of how strong the wind is gusting, look up and ahead. Target fixate on where I want to go, not where I don't want to go. Stand up, keep balance, and twist the throttle on.
