I'm back with yet another bicycle blog. I could talk about Nashville Star and I do love Gabe and hope he wins but this bicycle craze that's sweeping the country is really making a difference in my life. I have a new bicycle hero who I hope to meet one day on the circuit. Jim Witko. He came in last place in the Bridge to Bridge 100 mile ride. That's right 659 out of 659 riders. His time was 9 hours 59 minutes and 57 seconds. All I know is his name and time. I do not know his age but I do know that he does not stop easy. From my experience I've found when I ride Percy Warner Park everyone passes me but I go on anyway. It seems that no one who rides less strong than me attempts it. So far on the Natchez Trace I've passed no one. Jim Witko came in last but he did not quit. Everyone one was faster and stronger and even the guy that finished 2 minutes ahead of him must have had an easier time. Well the point of my story is, "I would rather come in last than be one of the people who doesn't try because of the fear of coming in last". My goal is to ride a Century ride soon and if last place is where I finish I will be very happy. There should be a little Jim Witko in all of us. Don't quit!
