What's my dream?
What's my dream? Truth be told, I feel like a fraud when I say it out loud. I want to win the Tour de France. There I said it. At this point, just getting ino the Tour would be a dream. Since I was 15 I've wanted to go race the Tour. For the last 10 years I have devoted myself to that goal. It's crazy to think about it, but I ride my bike more than a lot of people drive in a year. It's who I am now. I can't even imagine myself without a bike. Amazing how much something like riding a bike can wrap itself up in your identity.
Lately I've been wondering why I keep pressing on ahead. I am married now and I have a two year old daughter. At times it feels like I should grow up and forget this silly dream. I am still doing it though. Waiting for a break-through. I'll give up when my legs give out I guess. Until then, I'll be out on the road.

Keep the faith brother!!!!
Dude, I admire your honesty. There's no point sugar coating how tough it can be, and for any people out there who are reading this, and maybe thinking about getting started down the road to cycling, they should strap on their bootsraps for a long, wonderful, but tough road.
That said, don't let yourself get down and caught up in self doubt. I know its there, it is for me too, but if you aren't your own biggest fan, who else is going to be? You've got to keep focused and keep believing. And try to stay positive even in the tough times. You've already accomplished so much, and you have so much to be proud of.
So stay positive, keep your killer instinct, and blow away the competition in the next race!
