Some people relate Thanksgiving to Turkey, Pumpkin Pie, Football but members of the Hickam Area Cycling Club relate it to the annual Thanksgiving Day Ride. The Ride kicked off at 0630. Some of us used a variety of approaches to get a Thanksgiving Day Kitchen Pass, one person whose name will remain anonymous used the excuse that he bought a car on base and drove it home yesterday leaving his other car on base. He just had to ride back to the base to pick it up. My approach was a little different. I volunteered to get up at 545 prepare the turkey and put it in the oven. The timing was perfect as I was able to accomplish this and get to the gym just as they were getting ready to leave. There were 15 or 16 riders who showed up including one who was visiting his son for the holiday and brought his bike. We rode to the control tower then off base to the road that runs along the Airport. We also rode to AMR and through Pearl Harbor. The ride was pretty tame except for a couple of sprints at the end. I was able to take a few good pictures of the sun raising over Diamond Head and Honolulu.
