Nobody Is Paying Attention
17 Jan 2018
cute cabin, no one cares
An incomplete list of things other people aren’t paying attention to:
– your race results
– whether you hit that drop or not
– how many miles you rode on Strava this year
– how many likes your last Instagram post got
– how many followers you have
– that one time you were DFL in a bike race
– how much your bike weighs
– whether you took the A line or the B line
– that one time you got on the podium at a local race
– whether your socks match
– how stupid you looked crashing on that really easy section
– you, in general
A complete and totally comprehensive list of things other people are paying attention to:
– themselves
– that dog on Instagram who wears goggles
I liked that cabin, and I think I was DFL at that race. You know what, I didn’t make any of those drops. I like the dog with goggles.
Better DFL than DNF!!
Hang in there with all your activities. I cant even get the desire to go skiing and we finally have some snow. Just looking out the window is a blessing.
Right on. Samuel Johnson said it best: “If any man would consider how little he dwells upon the condition of others, he would learn how little the attention of others is attracted by himself.”
That quote is perfect, thank you
This is great! And I know where that cabin is!! Great trail system in VT

Another awsome post, I think this applies to almost all bike riding, I have just started riding with a group and its hard to feel being last = holding everyone else back. When in fact people are supportive of the fact that at least your there trying.
