The Rock Cut Trail Crew hosts a group ride at every holiday. It’s tradition. But the Thanksgiving ride is perhaps the most special, since it’s the last organized club ride before the park closes for the season. No doubt there will be a group of die-hards out for a night ride on November 30. We did it last year so that we could say we were the last ones to ride at Rock Cut for the season. Sort of pointless bragging, like closing a bar. Of course I was on the trails again at 6am on April Fool’s Day this spring. Last one out, first one in.

I won’t make the Thanksgiving ride this morning and will miss it. Instead I’ll eat way too much and sleep through the football game at the in-laws.

Happy Turkey Day!
