Jackie Miller has been working on our behalf to improve the cycling experience in Holly Springs. She's asked that our local cycling community join her in support of the initial changes now in progress.
There will be a town council meeting to discuss new signage ("Share The Road") and markings (Sharrows) to be installed in the area. Some of the roads in question are very familiar to us: Green Oaks Parkway, Holly Springs New Hill Road (Brewery Hill!), Woods Creek Road, and Thomas Mill Road, among others.
I believe this represents a start - a foot in the door toward greater consideration of cyclist needs as the area continues to mature.
Throughout the days, weeks, and even years, we sometimes lose sight of "why" we do what we do. This is true not only of our daily routines such as going to work, but with our little cycling team we know as TeamCBC. And, when we lose that focus, we can end up not understanding the value of "what" we are doing as well.
Today, I got another reminder of how important it is to always keep the "why" in front of you and how that impacts the things you do (the "what") and how keeping that focus makes those tasks easier and utlimately more pleasurable.
Michael Jr, well known comedian and speaker, sums it up quite nicely in this video and shows why it is important to know your "why" so the "what" becomes almost second nature.
And, the reason why we are TeamCBC? Well, that's easy to understand...
On 1/11/2016, Danny Thomas gave a great presentation on developing a training plan for cycling at the NC Bicycle Club monthly meeting. The meeting was attended by several members of NCBC and TeamCBC. Danny is one of the regular riders with the team and always has great advice for cyclists and athletes alike.
