I am sincerely thankful for the motivation and passion that the sport of cycling has instilled upon me, as well as the life-long skills and independence I garnered from learning to wrench and to ride.

Furthermore, I'm incredibly thankful for my family and the fact that we are still hosting the annual Thanksgiving 25+ people feast this year, uniting my extended family for a day of enjoyment. I'm also thankful that my mother has yet to discover the $500 I just spent on a set of lightly used Zipp 404s that I'll be using for crit racing here in January...
