Now that the year is drawing to a close and our chances to ride together are diminishing, I'd like to say a huge "THANK YOU" to everyone that made this a great year of cycling. From a personal perspective, there have been many Gyros who helped me along and made riding a lot of fun. After a dozen or so years out of the saddle, it has been wonderful to have this sort of friendship and encouragement. In addition, I want to specifically thank all of the people who have lead the Gyros' rides. While I'm sure that I will miss some names, people like Tony (our captain!), Bert, Smith & Claude, Kim, Maria, Tom, Dave, Andy, Hal, Ed, Leslie, and Mike have done a tremendous amount of work shepherding us around the back roads of North Carolina. None of the Gyros' fun or success would have been possible without their efforts. And being directionally challenged myself, I'd probably be found alone and shivering in some remote county if it wasn't for the their cue sheets and shouting of directions.
To all of you, thanks for everything that you've done to make 2009 a great year to be on the bike and Happy Holidays!
