Which is most important - Life or Cycling?

Easy question? Maybe not so easy for Kyle Hewitt who withdrew from the World Cycle Racing World Tour (http://www.worldcycleracing.com/) only 40km into a round-the-world race on Saturday. Even though he's only twenty-five, Kyle is almost a professional fund raiser and has a long history of raising money for charities with his cycling exploits. I'm sure when he signed up for this race he had no idea he would have a new wife and child by the time he reached the start line.

How hard must it have been for him to start this race and how hard also to abandon in favor of his new family. There's no doubt Kyle would have been a serious competitor and that the race will be diminished by his absence. There's also no doubt in my mind that he, eventually, did the right thing. Like the reluctant bride turning away at the altar - better late than never.

Your day will come, my friend, never doubt that.
