hippy-
There was a guy speaking at the party start of IndyPac who had ridden with Oppy. Can't remember his name, but he's a bit of an Aussie long distance legend and has ridden across the Nullarbor about 5 times.
He told about Oppy saying that. At the time I thought it was a bit trite but, after 8-9 days, rolling out of Port Augusta on a flat road into a gale, in the middle of the night, I just found myself starting to freewheel whenever I didn't consciously make myself pedal. I then thought back to it and realised it was one of the most profound things I've ever heard, just I had needed to ride for a week to get to the state where I could appreciate the wisdom!
