Team Pacemaker

You know I am a cyclist and love this time of year. The TDF is one of my favorite sporting events and I was just thinking about how the Pacemaker Club functions a lot like a cycling team. Sometimes when someone is struggling with something his teammates will all come back to help pace him back to the group, the stronger members letting those that need help hang on their wheels as they climb, letting them ride in their slipstreams some things are a little easier for them until they are strong enough to go on their own again. Thanks to all those here who have paced me over the last year and I hope I have at least done my share at the front of the group from time to time.

As Phil Liggett once said... and we should all remember as we face difficult days:

""Time lost on the climbs can be made up with skillful and daring descents."

You have been a great encouragement to me to get exercising again. Others here have helped me in other ways. I don't what I would have done if I did not find this support group when I needed it the most.

Hope you are doing well and will be cheering you on when you do compete in the next Triple Bypass.

How right you are....
