Monday Inspiration. Freedom.

Monday. Ahead is a full week of happenings and things. But as I reflect on why we do it all, this video sums it up a little bit of it nicely. Beautifully filmed and poetically approached. I'm crushing on it this morning. Looking forward to some road time soon...looking forward to a productive week...more to follow...

None of this is free. But that's what makes the payoff so sweet. Anyone who has ever stuck with a training plan to prepare for a new challenge knows this. Anyone who has pedaled through a cold winter to reach new distances come spring knows this. Chances are if you've ever ridden a trainer indoors, you might have felt yourself banging up against that wall and asking yourself, why? "Free," the new film from Machines sets out to capture the inner dialogue of the rider who has found themselves at this crossroads and come out the other side with a reason... something to hold on to when those questions start to bubble up within.
