🏍️ Riding out 2026 — Moab last fall reminded me of something deeply inconvenient. We didn’t do anything wrong… and still hit obstacles. We planned 📍 We researched 📚 We had the gear 🧰 We did the responsible things ✔️ And then Moab said, “Cute.” 😌Unexpected challenges. Environmental friction 🌬️ Stuff you simply cannot plan for.
🧠 That’s the point — on the bike and in life, right? Planning matters. It just doesn’t remove friction. 🛣️ The shift isn’t eliminating obstacles. It’s deciding how you respond when turning around isn’t really an option. 👀 This year, my intention is simple:
⏸️ Pause less.
😬 Panic less.
➡️ Commit sooner.
🏁 Deal with what’s in front of me — on the road and off.
