Charlie Farrow's Amateur Bike Racing Website

amateur: n. 1. a person who engages in some art, science, sport, etc. for the pure pleasure of it rather than for money. 2. a person who does something without professional skill...derived from the french word "amare" which means "to love." That's me...Even though I am without professional skill...far from it; I love adventure, I love climbing, I love a good Hard-core Stout, I LOVE DULUTH, MN and I am obsessed with cycling & no one pays me so much as a penny! I am the consummate Amateur...

Ya got 'til November 15th to "Cross the Rubicon."

As I mailed my entry fee today for inclusion into a pot of potential competitors for the 2008 Arrowhead 135 Mega-Classic, the following adages popped into my cluttered mind:

"Crossing the Rubicon"
"Alea iacta est "

"Burn the Bridges "

"Break the woks and sink the boats”
"Fait accompli"
"Leave the rope"
"bring the revolver and one bullet"
