Thankful...

On the 4th Thursday of November, we celebrate Thanksgiving in the United States. The national holiday has its history in the first European settlers of our country taking part in the Native American harvest festival, which is also celebrated to different extents all over the world.

Among the annual American traditions of turkey, stuffing, cranberries, and pumpkin pie is taking the time to reflect on the people [and the situations], both past and present, for whom we are most thankful.

This year has certainly been filled with a lot of highs and lows for the Triple Crankset, but we are certainly thankful for:

- 53rd not being seriously injured in his run in with two Jerseys girls; the classic bike v. car affair. Although plenty of good early season training went by the wayside, he's well and riding a new Cervelo.

- All the friends and professional contacts we've made in the past year. You've certainly contributed mightily to our growth.

And although I could continue for quite sometime, I wanted to say that I'm especially thankful for all our friends and families in Chicago, Columbus, Reston, and Harrisburg. But I'd also be remiss for not expressing our thanks to our new friends and readers in the United States and from around the World, thank you for bringing our words and images into your homes and/or offices.

Happy Thanksgiving Day.
