Okay, let me set the scene.
A scenario.
You hear about a ‘Race.’
It sounds incredibly intriguing.
It has an interesting ‘Catch.’
You enter it.
It is ten minutes long.
But ten minutes all in.
It is towards the end of summer.
You are feeling good.
You are exactly where you want to be.
The weather is perfect.
A slight breeze.
28 degrees.
Your bike feels great.
You feel great.
Not a cloud in the sky.
There will be no cars.
No distractions.
Nothing but the race.
Smooth black pavement.
A hill.
A few curves.
A nice straightaway.
…And that interesting ‘Catch.’
Each competitor is allowed to use, bring, or do one thing that they think will give them their own advantage.
Something that they think will make them perform better.
Race better.
Win.
No judgement.
All is good.
Whatever works for you.
Bring it, do it, eat it, smoke it, drink it.
I would bring one thing.
A song.
A song that was written to ride to.
A Masterpiece.
A ten-minute Masterpiece.
Ten minutes of solid bliss.
Ten minutes of all-in.
It gives.
It keeps on giving.
Gives when you want it.
Gives when you need it.
A keeper.
My ten-minute advantage.
My ten-minute ‘Catch.’
…Volume UP.
‘REZ – REMASTERED’
