"Rhythm is happiness. This is the beauty of cycling – the rhythm puts serious activity in the brain to sleep: it creates a void. Random thoughts enter that void – the chorus from a song, a verse of poetry, a detail in the countryside, a joke, the answer to something that vexed me long ago." - Robert Penn
"Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional" - Dean Karnazes
"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving” - Albert Einstein

"Sweat = Bliss. There are no shortcuts when it comes to fitness. You have to make an investment and stay committed. Lifelong changes are a series of daily commitments strung together. You must recommit every day and stick with it for the long haul. Exercise is work, and sweat is the sign that you are working. There are few things as physically pleasurable and rewarding as sweat. You should think of exercise as something pleasurable that you want to do. Shift your perspective. Seek exercise, don't avoid it. Make breaking a sweat most days of the week a goal and feel it transform your life." - Christopher Bergland
"The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start." - John Bingham
