This morning I made breakfast for my daughter before she went off to school. It wasn’t anything fancy… but it was a nice chance to interact with her for 15 minutes before she left for school.
It was also my last chance.
Today is her last day of high school. Her graduation is on Sunday. And in August she’ll be leaving home for college.

But last summer I did something really crazy…
You see, I’m a solid rider with lots of experience, but I’m not a racer.
But I went and entered a REALLY difficult race – in fact just starting this race should probably qualify me…
