Many of us dream about having a brush with greatness. What type of accomplishment this centers on depends on the person and their particular interests. I know that I have woken up, smiling from a dream, hearing the cheering of the crowds and feeling the afterglow of happiness that many professional cyclists must feel during their career. Eventually I awaken completely to realize that alas this was just a wonderful dream.
I makes you stop and wonder how great it must feel to reach that level of accomplishment in your life’s dedication. For many cyclists these feelings are achieved after a lifetime of dedication and practice of their sport. I have great respect for these athletes whatever their chosen sport be it traditional road cycling or the newer extreme variations such as BMX and off road riders.
