Living to Ride Part II
Regrettably, I forgot the most important lesson learned, or remembered, from cycling.
- Focus on where you want to go, not the obstacles. Once you fixate on a rock, pothole or asphalt seam you’re sure to ride directly at it. The lesson is to focus on the clear path so you navigate through the danger easily. The obstacles will always be there, but if you choose not to focus on them they’ll pass harmlessly by.
This reminds me of a quote I read once from a sailor in the Whitbread Round the World Race. Commenting on the icebergs around Cape Horn (paraphrasing), “We really have to navigate carefully during the day as the icebergs are all over the place. Fortunately, they disappear at night.”
