As long as Myatt can remember, she has been writing poetry and riding bikes. The two things were very separate sides of her—the sporty, competitive side and the part that loved books and writing, playing with language. It was only too mechanical to try to put them together until Myatt took ownership of her training and started digging into the mental and emotional side of sport. That's when it really clicks with poetry. Mountain bikers talk about the idea of flow quite a lot. During racing, the goal is to be able to achieve a flow state and be super smooth as everything is happening automatically without thinking. The feeling of inspiration in writing is similar to the flow state on a mountain bike. The flow can bring a sense of joy, which can then turn into a positive feedback loop between Myatt's pursuits. “When I feel joy, I want to write about it now. But also, if I'm writing about joy, it encourages me to notice joy more often in daily tasks or riding bikes,” Myatt says. In a sense, Myatt's new book marks a successful new connection between the bike and the poetry, which not only runs throughout the book's pages, but throughout her life, too. “The book is designed to inspire girls in sport and in life, but I really think the messages are universal and I hope that everyone can enjoy this book and act on their potential.” ( ) 1.
