Singlespeed Fever / Thanksgiving

What is it about riding a single speed mountain bike that is so much fun? As I said in a former posting I was anti-single speed for a very long time. Once I tried it I was hooked! Thanks Dave C. I have since purchased a 29er Rig. I must say I love the bike. The only real complaint I have about the bike is the weight. Coming from a XC racing back round I like a light bike. I plan on lightening things up soon! The 29er wheels are great as well. Once you get them moving they really go. The best part is the way the just roll over small bumps. Once I got the tire pressure right it was great.
Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday! It is a great time to be with family and catch up with extended family. I want to give thanks to my parents right now for the way they raised me and my brother. Now that I have my own family I truely understand the sacrifices they made for us. I also realize they did a good job because of the life and relationships me and my brother have. We were both able see what a family should be like and therefore had the blueprint for our own. I only hope I will be as good of a parent as Mary Kay and Lar. Thanks for everything.
