Thanksgiving Day Bicycle Ride

Like I don't have enough to be thankful for... I got to go for a great bike ride this morning with my friend Josh and his girlfriend Lilian. We met a group of 40 or so from Swami's Bicycle Team for a 40 miler up through Camp Pendelton to San Clemente and back. It was a leisurely pace for us of around 15-16 mph. A bit slower than I'm used to going, but it is Thanksgiving Day and wasn't supposed to be a hammer session. I seem to have a hard time not going hard all the time, so this was probably a good thing for me.

I'll warn you first - this is a 30-second video shot with my cellphone, while riding - so the quality is exactly what you'd expect...pretty bad! But I wanted to try it and add it to my blog.

Anyway - I do have so much to be thankful for - and I am! I don't think I'll list them all here, but a short list would include God, family, friends, health, freedom and independence. Thank you everyone for your part in all of this!

Happy Holidays!
