Great essay John. Brought back fond memories of visiting Melk on the road between Vienna and Salzburg (but I must admit, I was driving a car.) The quote from Cormac McCarthy is beautiful and timely as he died yesterday. I am inspired by your consistency at both writing and training.
Man John, I marvel at how similar we are. I'm also a long-distance cyclist. Max distance of 110 km a day.
Even both my parents are long distance cyclists. They cycle 40 km EVERY DAY.
(I heard you're also a tall guy...)
Can you elaborate on that lone wolf vs team point that you were talking about? I'm a lone wolf now, but I don't see it as a bad thing. I need to know if I need to reflect and change!
This sounds like such a wonderful trip. Years ago, I cycled from Prague to Vienna with friends. It ruined me for any other type of vacation besides active. Now, you've caught the bug!
Super inspiring John. I love the 80% target on mastery. It's like the opposite of the 80/20 rule. 99% of the pleasure comes from 80%. of the proficiency.

John - I loved every bit of this! So glad you weren’t there last Friday so we could see pictures of where you were!

Great essay, John.
Had you read the news about Cormac McCarthy's passing or is that a strange coincidence?
