#steediversary

Steed Jumps

This week marks the Steed’s seventh year of marriage!  Pretty rad right; I think so.  In true Steed fashion, Kyle and Amanda planned a route in California that matched that of the movie “Sidways”.  The idea is to experience some of the best wine/scenery California has to offer.  Needless to say… I’m a bit jealous, but this isn’t the point of posting this rad photo Amanda (IG @amandasteed) took of Kyle. 

Amanda displays the Ride x Create vibe proudly.  She is not afraid of new adventures into the unknown. She welcomes a challenge and is supportive of Kyle in the new unknown ventures he is faithful in pursuing.  Among other creative avenues, she takes some mondo photos. 

Thanks Amanda for your inspiration and support.  Love you guys!  So proud and inspired.

Mr. Sheehan was kind enough to pull this combo together!  I really dig it!  His title is perfect as well as the photo… then throwing in the Folly Eagle overlay, mondo!  Thanks again Evan!

Bandit Cross: Ruining It For Everybody from Quality Bicycle Products on Vimeo.

Not really sure how I overlooked this from eight months ago, but I did.  Great motivating story!  I believe people find excuses to not pursue what they love.  I know I have; and it really makes no sense.  I reckon it could be from fear of failing or anxiety of “how much work is this gonna be really?”.  If it’s your passion, your heart will be in it, and it will work out just fine regardless of its level of “success”.  The success is that you are following your passion and fighting the hesitation demons!

In closing to this fine sermon… In the words of John Watson “December is a rough month for finding content, that’s why you should just make your own!” So true.  With that said, if you have any cool Ride x Create vibe filled content… feel free to share with us via email (createfolly@gmail.com), twitter or instagram (@createfolly).

I hope your week is filled with miles dominated and creative ventures pursued!
