I have had the bittersweet pleasure of experiencing flight. I have been there, and there I long to return.
My bicycle is a training tool as much as a stress ball. I ride because I must. Being on a bicycle blocks out everything unnecessary and creates focus. I love coming face to face with myself just shy of peaking out a tough climb and learning to trust my instinct flying back down. I am addicted to the feeling of carving a beautiful line out of fern and loam. Riding a bicycle has taught me about more than adjusting gears and tuning suspension.
I am lucky enough to live in a gorgeous corner of the world known as the Pacific Northwest. Here we see rain as often as we do sun. Pursuing a degree in engineering is just that, a pursuit. Even after hours of trying to catch the heavy concepts of vector calculus or dynamics, they often get away. I am also determined to join the ranks of the world's best aviators. Some day I hope to skim over trail-laden mountains in an F-22 Raptor. There are very few who succeed down this road and fewer who think it possible for me to.
