The Dalai Lama was asked what surprised him most, he said "Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and dies having never really lived"

Spotted: New Rocky Mountain Enduro Bike
Shops have already gotten catalog photos of the new bike. Looks like VPP for sure, very similar looks to a Nomad.

Story Time: When Bikes Aren't the Answer
This was a refreshing and comforting read. I lost my Father in 2021 and have not been able to ride at the same level since then. He was my best friend, band mate and my #1 riding buddy. I got him into mountain biking around 2009 and we bonded on those rides, road trips and uplifts more than we ever had. He was an avid commuter to the bike shop that he had managed in the 1970's, but hadn't ridden a bike much since then. He was stoked on mountain bikes! I have had real problems with riding since losing him. I Can't build up the courage to ride the same features that I used to, despite riding more in the past 3 years then ever before. It has kept me sane, but has also made me quite frustrated with myself. I am slowly getting my mind back up to speed but it sure is tough. It feels like something is in the way. Like something is wrong. Because something is wrong. My Dad isn't riding there with me. Later in life he was an editor and journalist for multiple newspapers, magazines and websites. Here is a piece that he wrote years ago just for fun that I hadn't read until after he was gone. It is about us, shredding bikes. It is incredibly touching. https://milesdurrie.wordpress.com/2013/02/26/life-on-two-wheels/
