This has been really insightful, taken with a pinch of salt.
I’m absolutely average in just about every form of cycling metric and I kinda love that. It stokes my fire. What the metrics can’t tell you is how deep I or any other rider is willing to push. Where can we take our minds? How badly do we want it?
I’m certain there is a session on TR with the onscreen copy that says ‘this is where you learn to be the rider that can’t be broken.’ I love that mantra.
