Moving forward requires preparedness. Breaks give you time to assess, to check & to be ready.
Engines wind down, then there is a pause. Our rider comes to a stop & people cheer. The hot air is a mix of applause, sweat & fumes. Thankfully, a friend comes along then hands our rider a drink & a towel. Tires are checked, gas is filled, & our rider jumps back on the bike as they get ready for another run.
