I never could have achieved the success that I have without setting physical activity and health goals.

It's sad to know I'm done. But looking back, I've got a lot of great memories.

What I've learned from my own journey, and from my family's experience with cancer, is how important it is to stay positive and move forward. Not every day is going to be perfect; that's life. But staying positive is going to get you to the next day.

Anytime you ride against the best in the world, it becomes a learning process.

I just hope I can get another personal best. If I can do that, I'll be satisfied.

The sport I love has taken me around the world and shown me many things.

There is no man in any rank who is always at liberty to act as he would incline. In some quarter or other he is limited by circumstances.

No matter what the competition is I try to find a goal that day and better that goal.

It doesn't matter what anybody thinks of what I do. The clock doesn't lie.
