"Travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer"
When looking at the <$100 round trip specials in the email from Spirit Airlines I was thinking that a cheap & quick vacation before digging in to a hard few months at work opening a new facility with new customers and new team and new challenges... would be a good idea. Reflecting back on it, it certainly was a good investment. On a long day at work, I sit back and reflect on the thrill of riding my bike across the Golden Gate Bridge, rolling down the bay trail to Facebook HQ, or up to the view over Lombard street. I think about the unique business model that Sports Basement has with it's "basically free" bike rental (every dollar you spend on your bike rental, you get as store credit in their REI-like store) and feel inspired to consider a different approach with my business. There is always something to learn from new experiences. whether they are good or bad, if you look for them.
Though 100+ miles and thousands of feet of hills climbed by bike may seem nothing like vacation to some, we are each our own version of crazy, and my version just so happens to come with two wheels.
