Black Friday Turkey Burner

==BUMP TO SUNDAY==

Overnight snows and 17 mph winds (gusting up to 30mph) coming WNW—meaning headwinds for the first hour—leave me concerned for both road and temperature conditions tomorrow. Let’s bump to Sunday


==UPDATE==

It appears the gods would prefer we have more turkey tomorrow instead of a ride: 80% chance of rain by 11:00, and I don’t like the idea of being 15 miles out when a cold rain starts. Let’s bump the ride to Saturday (or Sunday? Less wind). Plan to ride Saturday at 11:00 (unless I hear votes for Sunday by Friday at 5:00).


We traditionally start this ride out in Westbrook so we don’t waste miles in uncertain weather just trying to get to the good part!

Let’s meet behind the Westbrook CVS for an 11:00 start.

The Turkey Burner course varies a bit year to year, so this year I have a 41-mile loop out towards Bonnie Eagle HS, with a bonus 10-mile addition around the river if the weather decides to play nice. If it doesn’t, we’ll be right by the Frog and Turtle for brunch.
