Always one to root for the underdog, Sid volunteered to lead Team Downhill on the family’s summer bike ride. The plan was for the more experienced riders to start at the bottom of the hill and peddle their way up and the less ambitious ones started at the top and coast their way down. As planned the two groups met half way for a picnic lunch. After consuming most of the cookies, Team Downhill was ready to resume their downward trek. As they looked to captain Sid to lead the charge, they noticed that he appeared to be in a deeply conflicted state. While his heart was with his loyal group of losers, his mind and body were telling him to go the other direction. A natural athlete and fierce competitor, Sid was never one to turn away from a challenge. Although he was a deeply compassionate person, on this occasion, he chose to pursue his personal ambitions. In his kink and gentle way, he turned to his troops and encouraged them to go on without him. While the ride down was slow and hard, Team Downhill eventually made it to the bottom. Even though the weary riders were without their captain, they knew in their hearts that Sid would always be on their side.
