"I was cruising down a road that I would normally would be white
knuckling the brakes all the way down. And there I was, relaxed and calm,
leaning from side to side, steering from the saddle and generally feeling like
one downhill bad-ass. And it hit me: I had graduated to the next level of
riding. I felt confident and assured, I knew at that moment I was no longer a
bike rider... I am a CYCLIST!"
