The way we all just tear ourselves up doing it.
Yeah but we're having way fun.
Last year when I was doing the Trans Pyrenees Ride we got stopped on a mountain pass. There was an evacuation helicopter in the road and they weren't letting anyone pass. It turned out a man and his wife were in the mountains picking mushrooms. He suffered a heart attack and died. It was sad. After the helio left we went through and the wife was there visibly shaken. I don't think there was anyone there who could drive her home. It made us reflect a bit on life and living. A person could die doing anything so make sure you're enjoying what you do.
