The road is my Ally
It provides that which I need
It reminds me that this challenge too will pass
That I am not defined by the struggle
That I am refined by it
I sweat and I shiver
In my helmet I am alone
I am accompanied by all
I am one
The air refreshes me and I am strong
I puke and shrivel with doubt and pain
The route provides
Not what I want but what I need
In the darkness of my mind a light shines
And I sing
“Beautiful”

Nicely done, Brian. I bet this rings true for most riders.
