Giving Thanks

[DMarchy1]

I have been mountain biking for about 15 months now, and a MORE member for about 9 months now. Here a just a few of the things I have to give thanks for:

I'm thankful I have my health. My body is getting older, but In someways getting better, I have lost a total of 45lbs in the last 20 months.

I'm thanful I have my mental health, well most days at least, and with continued use of riding helmet, I may be able to avoid serious brain damage from impact with trees, ground, rock, roots, and wife's Rolling pin.

I'm thankful that I have not gone financially belly-up yet. Man moutain biking gets expensive, With a teenage son who has to have everything Dad has. This motivates me to maximize my earning potential at work. Please Lady Luck of the lottery, Shine A little Love On Me!

I'm Very thankful for the many new Friends I have met through MORE. I really believe the biking community has some of the most Positive, genuine, and devoted people on the planet.

I'm Thankful I have MORE trails to ride.

I'm thankful for the opportunity to give back some time to the trails I love through volunteering for trailwork days.

I,m thankful the hardwork performed behind the scenes by the MORE board members. The efforts they put out helping to secure access to trails, Planning and securing funding, Organizing events, Usually this is thankless work, but I am not letting this day go by without voiceing how much I appreciate their hard work!

And finally, I'm thankful for the advise, instructions, directions, and general good wishes and friendship all those I have meet, Ridden with, or chatted with via our group rides and MORE web site. Have a safe, and Happy Thanksgiving with your families and friends.

Respectfully

David Marchyshyn.

I'm thankful to be able to be thankful for all I have and am able to do.

Because...I am thankful for all of the brave and dedicated American military members who sacrifice of themsleves to make this world a safer place. May God bless my Brothers in arms today and keep them safe.

Awesome! Congratulations, & keep spinning.

Yeah, man! I hear ya; my teenage son's now surpassing Dad w/his bikes. He's got 'upgrade fever'! Every time I turn around he's gotta upgrade one (of 3!) of his bikes. But I'm thankful he's into that, enjoys riding --great, healthy activity.

Hear, hear! (Or is it 'Here, here!'? No, I think that's what you holler out to a bartender; and I'm thankful for them too! :eek:

My hat, too, is off to all the MORE volunteers who've made huge strides in riding terrain, both access & improvement of existing stuff. THANKS! :)

Have a safe, and Happy Thanksgiving with your families and friends.

(Well, my technical skillshave failed me above with the [QUOTE] commands, but you get the idea)
Same to you, Dave, and everybody out there. See you 'out there'!
