Please post yours, too.

Great pics Mike!
Me...I am thankful for many, many, many miles of lonely Iowa farm roads
Sorry guys, no 29er content here, just love for the bike and many miles of open roads.

Please post yours, too.

Although my photo in no way compares in quality to mikesee's, this one was taken during one of my best cycling days during the past year...

My ride this last weekend...

[Bigwheel]

Colorado high country and the means of transportation to get there



My buddies Jamis and Kye That I get to babysit for once in awhile and then get to go home



Rides with friends,



And alone,

You can "ditto" the pics from Kerkove for me, plus my many singletrack excursions along the rivers here. Thanks for the overwhelmingly beautiful scenery, Mike. This is a great sport to enjoy! Thank you!

Jeff, we must have been sharing a thought!





Mikesee - those pictures make me hate where I live! You ruined thanksgiving!

[Bigwheel]

Old Friends and good food,



Vague singletrack,



My backyard playground, biking in the summer and XC skiing in the winter,



Hartman's Rocks being close by,



and all the wild animals,



So much to be thankful for, thanks for the reminder Mike!

This is better than going to see an Ansel Adams exhibition. Great wilderness photos plus 29ers, bonus. Thanks for posting the awesome pics. Happy Thanksgiving.

Nice work guys!

Great pics! We definitely have alot to be thankful for. By no means am I a photographer but I definitely have quite a few pics that bring bag floods of memories and remind me of all that I have to be thankful for.....here's a few "themed" photos...

1. Friends, Family, and those that fall in between.
2. Living outside.
3. Seeing new places and riding new trails. Traveling.
4. Seeing an area for the umpteenth time....and still being wowed.
5. Companionship.

Keep em comin,

Was just out tinkering in the garage (and being thankful for the heater out there...) when I remembered a few more that needed to be posted here.

In no particular order...

[mikesee]

Bob, you're the only one I know of that can get away with posting a pic of poop.

Here's to ya, and here's one just for ya..

G'day.

I'll always be thankful for the time that I spent living in Forest Falls.....photo opportunities like this were a daily occurence.

[Bigwheel]

Already set in a place of honor, my two favorite hounds.



And some more wild life,



Oh yeah, and the love of my life



Great pics from everywhere are a good thing to be happy about also.

I'm thankful for this thread. I'm always glad to see more ride photos and less tech talk on this board. Here are some shots from this past summer. I'm thankful that I'm able to live a life with trails out my backdoor and time to go beyond my back door to explore Alaska.

The computer tells me that I need to have at least five characters in this message so I am writing these words.

I haven't seen anything close to the trails or landscapes you people have. Hardly been out of the country (or above seas level for that matter).

Best me memories I have for this ride : the National SS Champs, first time on my Cube-to-SS conversion with Walt fork. First true 29"er I tried under 23lb, and immediately 18.6lb. a blast, and on the most fun singletrack to be found within 2 hours by car from here.
Also this was the most fun pre and post-ride experience in a long time, good people, cool SS bikes, oh and excellent finish line beer.

Most thankful I am for something new in my life that has much much less to do with bikes. Although she (her idea, I don't push at all) does want to try more serious riding with me. Perhaps if we survive this winter...which I sure hope we will. Maybe I'd save a 26"er for her. My old VooDoo's with a shorter stem or swept bar should fit her fine, she's a bit over 6 foot taal :-) Need to find a large 29"er frame somewhere though...

I am thankful that we have MikeC for all that he does here and all that he gives to us. What adventures, and what beautiful documentation of those, that he shares with us. Thanks for the photos, and thanks for always helping us to remember why we love to ride.

I am thankful for my bruthas! and all the many adventures that I get to share with them even though we live all over the country. And since we never have enough time actually together---I am thankful for xbox live.

And I am thankful that the beautiful Mrs Shark is patient with my travels and riding and that she loves her 29er too.

Have a great Thanksgiving all!
