I was surfing through old posts and found this one:

This post by Feanor (does he still post here) is very inspiring.. I continue to ride and try to get in better shape and become a better rider and stories like this just make me want to go ride right now....
I like the fact that he mentions watching a lot less tv, and working on his bike when he has nothing else to do... I do the same things now.
I especially liked this quote that he took from a book:
Quoted post said:
To gain confidence you have to risk failure, you have to push or you will never know how good you are or where you need to improve... You might fail often, but you will always learn something, you have to believe you can beat everyone else on the road"
You can find some great stuff in the older posts...
