Happy Thanksgiving

In 1621 the Pilgrims and the Indians celebrated
the first Thanksgiving. Grateful for their bountiful harvest they
feasted for three days. Three days of happy, joyful, culinary
satiation. And why shouldn’t they? God had richly blessed them,
and besides, William Bradford and the pilgrims didn’t count
calories, calculate fat grams, or worry about the glycemic index of
carbohydrates. Squanto and the Indians didn’t give a second thought
about body fat percentage or power-to-weight ratio.
But we do.
It’s difficult to enjoy Thanksgiving because we
stress about over eating. We know the suffering of going up the
local climbs and know the consequences of added weight. We know
that next season starts now. And we know the other
guys will show up at the next ride faster than ever.
Don’t worry about it. The harvest is still
bountiful and God continues to bless. Be thankful for what we have
– food to strengthen and nourish, family and friends to share it
with, and the ability and freedom to ride.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
