"It isn't the destination, it's the journey"
"The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one's own country as a foreign land." G.K. Chesterton
"A man must consider what a rich realm he abdicates when he becomes a conformist." Emerson
"Ride hard or stay home."
"Legends are measured in years, not seconds."

'Work to ride, ride to work'.
'Never confuse doing your job with riding your bike, the former is just to pay for the latter.'
and a little poem I've just made up:
'Through that certain set of bends,
With your favourite set of biking friends,
If you get off without a smile on your face,
Go buy a f***ing car, join the rat race.'
Cheers
Grim

The first one below is my signature in one of my e-mail accounts:
"I refused to tiptoe through life........Only to arrive safely at death."
Another good one: "Life is graded on a curve......Ride with the reaper."
And: "Attack life--it's going to kill you anyways."
For you guys and some of we girls: "My bones will mend....My glory may fade....but chicks will always dig scars."
