Savour the moment!︱Cross Training Enduro philosophy

http://www.crosstrainingenduro.com http://tractionerag.com As far as we know you only get the one life to live so make the most of it. At 77 Paul Rodden is making sure he savours every moment and he's a living reminder we aren't here for all that long, so enjoy it! This summer we were riding with Paul Rodden, aged 77 at the time. Anyway we take a break. And we're in this beautiful field. It's sort of like a cathedral type of forest setting where all the forest is over top of us. And we're sort of in it open space. And we're getting drinks and snacks. But Paul hates stopping! Anyway we stopped because some of our guys can't hang with him. And he's suddenly "Will you look at that!" And everyone was looking around like "Oh was there a deer or moose or bears or something cool to see?" And Paul's just looking around at the forest and looking around in amazement. And so I ask "What is it?" And he said "Just look at how lush and beautiful the forest is!" And at that moment I realized that Paul, at 77 on the trail, with a bunch of unaware unappreciative forty and fifty year old people, was absolutely soaking in the moment. And how beautiful the forest was. And paying attention. And ringing out every single drop of that ride. And here we are falling with our energy bars. Trying to get the wrapper open. And wondering how much water we have in our kamelbaks. Complaining about how tired we are. It was an eye-opener. And I think it was a silence that really sunk in that moment... sunk into almost everyone that was on the ride. So I was pretty cool. So when I have the privilege of witnessing first I guess, and then recognizing that moment, it makes me realize that in my 40s in my 50s, with all the chaos of modern life, and dinging of phones, and you know appointments... all the stuff that we all have to deal with. There's a real reminder. Wisdom passed down from a 77 year old man. This summer we were riding with Paul Rodden, aged 77 at the time.
