lunatics or heroes?

Race Across America on fixies.

3000 miles. Including some of that up and down stuff. Well rather a
lot of up and down, a total of 100,000 feet of climbing.

Me, I put them square in the "lunatic" camp.

What makes a hero? And does lunacy have any part?

The dictionary definition of hero says "courageous" and "noble". Too stupid
to know something is dangerous, and too stupid to take a bow at the end. If
you live through it of course.
Lunacy certainly plays a part in that. :-)

While lunacy might be a prerequisite, it doesn't automatically lead to heroism.

You can't be a hero without being a lunatic.
But you COULD be a lunatic without ever being a hero.

You need to do something stupid first.
