Thanksgiving on Two Wheels
I’ve had A LOT of time to think lately. 8-10 hours a day on the bike allows for some serious pedal powered pondering. It would fill endless pages to list everything I’m been thinking about, but the main topics of my Thankgiving Love-a-Thon are as follows:
-Family,Friends,Health,Love,Life,Laughing,Burritos,Sunrises,Sunsets,Good shelters in the rain,Downhill,Tailwinds,Starry Nights,Friendly Strangers,Train horns,Smooth pavement,Boston Cremes, and the ability to follow my dreams…That’s what I’m thankful for today and will forever be grateful for.
We’re in Austin now with Darryl and his family from Loving the Bike. I’d never met him in real life but it’s like we’ve been buddies for years. He and his wonderful family have generously taken our stinky feet in for a couple days. They’re Canadian and for them, Thanksgiving is in October. So what did we make for the big meal? Thanksgiving Burritos of course! 
I absolutely LOVE Austin Texas. It’s kind of like a bigger version of Boulder. There’s live music on every corner, great Tex Mex food and everyone here has that sweet southern charm. So if you’re flying from the UK to Texas don’t forget you can leave your car at Airport Parking at Edinburgh, or Airport Parking at Liverpool or Airport Parking at Glasgow for your holiday.

Sweet! Looks like a nice bike trip. Is there a mission? Do you need places to stay on the way? Are you interested in having company along that can ride your speed? I give thanks for running in the sun, chocolate, my bike, skis, friends & dancing on this Thanksgiving day!
I'm in if you need another rider next time…DCT
You know it, Ryan…..we've been soul Brothers for a while now and meeting up in person was something that totally needed to be done. You and Nick and definitely part of our Family now and we're looking forward to seeing you guys again. We all really miss you and wish you the best on the rest of your journey.
