Episode 105. It has always been my thought, the cliche is half-baked, that Professional Cycling shares many a demand faced by those belonging to the Screen Actors Guild. My concept, still in fomentation, is that the bedfellows, while not exactly alike, do share several strange similarities. To wit; They are NOT for everyone. They each require a commitment that asks for their very best. They are NOT for the faint of heart. Or lung, Or leg. The moment of truth shines on the drama and intensity of the effort necessary to seize the moment and provide a performance, as thousands watch, compare, and judge. No easy chore. That moment in the white-hot spotlight is what separates the contenders from the pretenders. One does it, and does it regularly, or one sullenly sits scanning the local help wanted pages.
In Episode 105 we chat with local celebrity and pro cyclist Kiel Reijnen. It would have been fun to put Kiel and Chris Kattan, an athlete and an actor, together to exchange ideas on this subject, but we (I) missed the opportunity as Chris was on our stage while Kiel was off racing in the mountains of Utah. Alas, perhaps another day.
Join us for this informative and motivating conversation as we ride from the hills of Bainbridge Island to the flat-lands of Emporia, Kansas (with many International stops along the way). It's a wild ride and although I did my best, I was left in the dust by the speed, stamina and stature of the only professional cyclist on Bainbridge Island.
Chapeau Kiel Reijnen.
