“Life is in session.” – from the movie The Switch.

“What the map didn’t show was elevation. What we rode was 18mi of the hilliest, steepest, most energy draining road we’ve seen. In the late afternoon heat, we faced hills so steep we had to drop down to our granny gears, which we haven’t used since the early days of our trip when our legs were unaccustomed to pedaling uphill. We crept up each hill, head dangling between our arms, sweat pouring off our faces, arms and legs, showering the road under us. Our mouths dripped a mixture of sweat and spit as our lungs heaved taking in massive amounts of air trying desperately to supply our aching muscles with the oxygen they craved.” -EL Toro

Be like a postage stamp, Stick to one thing until you get there. – Josh Billings :

For Guthrie for “sticking” to it at VT.

Ain’t nothin’ gonna to break my stride
Nobody’s gonna slow me down, oh-no
I got to keep on movin’
Ain’t nothin’ gonna break my stride
I’m running and I won’t touch ground
Oh-no, I got to keep on movin’

-Matthew Wilder

When the world says, “Give up,”
Hope whispers, “Try it one more time.”
