Being Thankful  I'm thankful for:  Two legs to pedal with.  The
sound of a group riding down the road.   An ice cold beer after
a long ride.   The whir that deep dish carbon wheels make.
Knobby tires in dirt.  Talking and laughing with my teammates
before and after a race.   Discovering a new road to ride on.
Mastering a skill.  Riding tandem with my wife.  Imparting some
wisdom to someone new.  Watching a child get their first
bicycle.  Having philosophical discussion
