Thankfulness
 
I know it’s a day early, but I have a great deal to be thankful for.

The Dr told me yesterday that I have one more treatment to do. Plus I rode my bike 40 miles today!!! All be it a slow 13 mph. It’s by far the longest ride I have been able to do in years. I also weighed in at 195. I know some of you guys think that’s heavy, but not for me. I want my 240 back.... but all things in time.
BTW I was 240 when I left the basketball team I was on in college.

So there’s much in this heart to be thankful for.

I'm not sure what treatment you are going through, but congratulations. Hope 2020 is a year of health and plenty of riding for you!

Probably only 5% of the population can ride a bike forty miles. Congrats and all the best with your final treatment and beyond. Have a great Thanksgiving!

I’ve been in front of the line for a LONG time, but life has gotten in the way.

Maybe next year.

Thanks for all the good wishes.

I was going to say...5%??
Try 0.5% is more like it. If that.

GREAT to hear..!! Who cares about speed, the object of the ride..is the ride.
Regardless of the somewhat conflicting history about this holiday, it IS a great time to be thankful for the good things in our lives..GOOD for you JR..

That is so awesome Jr! So happy for you, and what a great thing to read. You’re an exceptional dude.
