Give it away

Hold out your hands and see how many take hold.

James Kelly

Would you ask a stranger for a co2 cartridge if you were out? Hell yes you would, if it was in the middle of a race. Would you ask you're best friend for a hundred bucks if it meant your mortgage payment? Not if your life depended on it.
Why is it so easy and yet so hard? What are the parameters that make it so easy sometimes to accept or to ask for help and sometimes not be able to find the words?

Sometimes strangers become our closest friend if only for a moment as they pass by and throw a tube or a co2 cartridge our way. Yet our true friends who we surround ourselves with every day, feel like outsiders because we feel what, too much obligation, familiarity, too much, "hey guess who had to borrow from me"?

It is amazing how much giving there is our there. Not just on race day, but every day. You just have to look or ask or hold out your hand. Don't be afraid to ask because sooner or later you will be asked to give. Either way you will get more than you bargained for. Really...
