The Road Writes Back: Cycling as a Form of Poetry

I didn't set out to be poetic. I set out to ride. But somewhere between mile 30 and mile 70, between sunrise and sunset, I started hearing the road differently. Not just as terrain, but as verse. The hum of my tires was meter. The climbs and descents, line breaks. The miles, stanzas. Sometimes the words come on the ride itself. Sometimes they come when I'm lying in my tent or sipping juice the next morning. But they always come. Because long rides strip the noise away. What's left is what matters.

Nearly 30 years had passed since he first stepped into Napa Valley vineyards as a teenager, pruning and grafting for wineries that would bottle the fruit he helped grow - wines he never had the chance to enjoy.
