Meyrick Jones Racing: Hornby Island

"wise guys" quote:

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

- Theodore Roosevelt, speech titled "Citizen in a Republic" delivered at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910

Everything you need is already inside.

Hornby Island - New Year's 2007

Quickly, on the training front: Have been on the snow every day since Christmas... still moving in the right direction! I think the next big steps will come in the New Year once the holiday hoopla is over.... nose back to grindstone in prep for the first race on the 19th.

New Year's 2007 Plans

We have been trying to find a little cabin somewhere to ring in the New Year with our good friends the Browns.... It was proving to be a bit tough until we got lucky with a house on the beach on Hornby Island.

We are leaving tomorrow! Should be awesome. I will have pictures to post upon my return.
