President Teddy Roosevelt had many great quotes and lived a harrowing life.

As a young boy he was sickly and weak, kept inside for fear of becoming ill.

But one day, something changed and becoming strong became a focus, and you might say, “the rest is history”.

This simple quote, and his illustrious life, reminds us that life punches hard, and thus it’s better to maintain a solid state of “readiness” rather than the “ill get ready when I need to” mentality.

Everyday discipline may be uncomfortable, but it’s not nearly as difficult as trying to climb out of the “fitness basement”…

Athlete Highlight: knows a thing or two about daily discipline and has managed to keep his fitness rolling after an awesome performance at 24HOP earlier this year.

Recently Juan got rowdy on his drop bar rig with his .r.t.racing teammates at the which started with the brutally challenging yet stunningly picturesque VIEJAS Grade climb in east county San Diego.

VIEJAS may be a brutal climb, but Juan managed to tame the beast with a smile on his face!

Way to go Juan! Thanks for showing us what readiness looks like and keeping it fun too! You rock, Buddy!

Boy, does it feel good to score a big result!

But results are not guaranteed in this world.

Although success comes to those that work hard, everyone knows the formula for success is a bit more complicated than just putting in hard work…

Which is why Mr Robertsons quote makes a powerful point. If we stay focused on the process of developing fitness, honing performance skills, and dialing-in race-day rituals, results will not be in doubt.

So this week, let’s take a step back from the “end-goal” and instead focus on the investment we can make each day to make what we do more fruitful and fun!

Athlete Highlight: Jon Flagg scored himself a big-win at San Diego recently, winning his age group in the Wafer distance.

Having faced a myriad of setbacks this offseason that kept him from competition, it would have been easy for Jon to get discouraged and “throw in the towel”.

Yet, he exhibited great dedication and patience as his “goal posts” kept shifting from winter, to early spring, to late spring…

But it was all worth it as Jon won his first race back this season in stellar fashion!

Great work Jon!

If there was ever an avatar for a silent professional, it would be Mr Flagg! Congratulations on a great result and starting your season (albeit delayed), on a high note!

Calmness doesn’t always come to mind when Athletes consider the notion, “how can I be more powerful?”

Yet, as Mr Holland lays out in such simple terms, calmness is the foundation of power.

And we would go so far as to say that Mr Holland would agree that calmness produces both physical and mental strength.

In short, it’s great to be fired-up, but it might just be better to be calm and confident.

Athlete Highlight: has got himself quite a season going!

In just a few short days he earned himself both a 3rd place finish at the San Diego on his gravel bike, then backed it up with a great race win at the Over The Hump MTB race a few days later.

It’s a streak fueled by his calm demeanor and quiet confidence! Great work Frank, we are so proud of you, Buddy!

It’s great to have goals, but what matters most is our commitment to the work needed to hit our targets.

President Lincoln’s words drive home the point that goals backed by a promise to ourselves and a commitment to give our best is the recipe that will bring our dreams to life.

Athlete Highlight: knows a thing or two about commitment. As an ultra endurance athlete and top-five finisher at UnBound Gravel 350XL, Sarah couldn’t just say she was committed to her goal, she had to work for it all the way to the line!

And almost a year on from that mega-ride she is still charging and racing hard with a big smile on her face!

Last week she took on a BWC favorite, the Over The Hump series opener. Sarah had a great ride in the Elite Women’s field on a course that featured a brutally tough main climb, a stiff finishing kicker, and miles of twisty 2-track that challenged every riders technical skill.

And she did it all with a smile on her face!

We couldn’t be more proud of having Ms Sarah as a part of our Big Wheel crew of Athletes. She’s a ripper on any bike and at any distance! Great work Sarah!!!

As a coach and business owner, I often think it would be cool to go to brunch with our athletes.

But nobody has got time for that!!

Instead, we race each other!! 💅

It was a great opening night at ! We had 9 athletes racing, both coaches and Tiny Coach raced as well!

It’s a workout, vibe and experience that is hard to beat! With food trucks to can’t off, everyone was happy.

We are soaking up this time in business to PARTICIPATE with our athletes and see what the demands of competition are - from the inside!!

Here’s to more hard racing a dirt uni-brows! 🤓

Just as a candle spreads light in the world by sharing its flame, we can do the same.

As Athletes it’s all too easy to focus on our individual performances and miss opportunities to “share our light” with others.

Exercise and competition are overwhelmingly positive things in our lives and those pursuits, when shared with others, can inspire more than we can ever know.

So today, this week, and all season long, let us not forget to look around, appreciate, and “share our light” with people in our orbit as we never know when our light could use a little boost itself!

Athlete Highlight: had a series of break-out performances at the Sea Otter Classic, completing the two hardest races in his career with just 24-hours recovery between them.

Kai has been training diligently and pushing his limits with the two-pronged goal of racing the U23 LifeTime Grand Prix and getting into Leadville for the Leadville Trail 100 MTB race.

Kai completed the U23 gravel race of 90-miles amidst howling winds and warm conditions, then rallied back to have a personal best performance taking 25-minutes off his Fuego XL finishing time from last year. It was an incredible performance, especially considering the deep fatigue he started the day with after his gravel 90-miler.

But what we are most proud of Kai for is his leadership and coach support of his local HS MTB team. He has “shared his light” and experience with the team through the year all while doing his own training.

And we are certain there was a collective “hip-hip-hooray” for Kai at last weeks Team Practice following his Sea Otter exploits.

Congratulations on a great Sea Otter Kai, we are impressed and inspired. Keep up the good work, Dude!
