Ride In Peace Mike Hall

A sad loss. There's a guy who really contributed to the overall sum of human happiness - not only did many of us enjoy following himself and Kristoff Allegaert battle it out across Australia for the last couple of weeks, he was also the chief organiser of the deeply entertaining TransContinentalRace (TCR) across Europe, which got a lot of people into long-distance cycle racing/touring and had a big social media audience of its own. A dreadful thing, to see a guy who lived so intensely, suddenly cut down.

"So many times I meet people and they tell me about how they “Wish they could (insert whatever here)”, and simply using the word “Wish” is the most painful part because wishing ain’t shoite, trying is. [...]

That is why – for me – it is terrible that Mike died, because we are now losing that drive, that push, the inspiration that you can always try, while so many other people live empty lives void of anything other than vicariousness and never to be fulfilled dreams that they truly believe are out of reach. [...]

Let me tell you something, they aren’t. Your dreams are just an attempt away. [...] Don’t waste your turn, for that is the worst thing you can do. Mike died trying, and to me there is nothing more noble."
