Some quotes you just have to share

What follows is a conversation that took place between me and my boss...or rather it was me talking to everyone and my boss hearing and chipping in:

Scene..Location the Physio department where I work, with me expounding to everyone listening about my 101yr old patient......

"Boy she is feisty. Isn't it fantastic. I reckon you have to be feisty to get to be over 100."

Boss coming out of his office "You'll live to 150 then!"

Me..I hope not, I've not got enough money..but I'll take that as a compliment. Would it be worth living that long if I couldn't ride a bike? Maybe I could ride an adult tricycle..yeah, that's what I'd do.

So there you have it..I'm going to live a VERY long time!! its in the genes anyhow.....better stop spending and start saving..... but before I do..can I justify a Garmin Edge 305?

This brought tears to my eyes

Two people watching me endlessly circling the velodrome yesterday said they had tears in their eyes as I approached the final minute....me, I was too dehydrated to have tears then but today, a young man wrote this to me and brought tears to my eyes:

"as with everything we attempt on our bikes, its not all
about the final result. Getting out there and giving it a
hard nudge is what its really all about. Results are good
but really it's all about the journey.

If we had amazing results every time it'd be pointless, no
challenge.

Yoda would have something cool to say......"
