Climb Your Mountain - Mitch Thrower



There is a road in San Diego that inspires me. On this road there are three fantastic climbs through Highland Valley on your way to Ramona. It’s a magnificent biking route. If you’re close – find it and ride it. Bring a camera. This road could be one of the best ways to ready yourself for the winds of Hawi.

Some thoughts for the day after my ride: 
"It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult." – Seneca
"I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom." - Angus Grossart  "Do one thing every day that scares you.” – Anonymous
“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined.” - Henry David Thoreau
"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming WOW! WHAT A RIDE." –Unknown 
“It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.” Sir Edmund Hillary 
“For every mountain there is a miracle.” Robert H. Schuller 
“Never measure the height of a mountain, until you have reached the top. Then you will see how low it was” Dag Hammarskjold “
Great things are done when men and mountains meet.” William Blake
