For most people, life highlights don't come easily. For @paysonmcelveen it took riding his bike for 32 hours across the island of Tasmania, and doing it unsupported to boot.

While building out a 360-mile route from the Indian Ocean to the Tasman Sea with 35,000 feet of climbing Payson's goal was to be present with his surroundings, taking in the beauty of the least populated state in Australia. During the ride, encounters with venomous snakes, hard singletrack sections, and riding through the darkness of the night tested his resolve and ability to stay present. But he prevailed.

"Like so many people, I'm always watching the clock, and on race days and in training, every second counts. Throughout the ride, I found myself further letting go of time. By the time I was starting to fall apart physically, mentally I had unlocked something, which was new to me, this acceptance, or surrender of control. I had achieved that true timelessness. There was something so healthy and powerful about that."
