2022 Turkey Burner

UPDATE: I was not satisfied with the previous courses, so I've created some new variations on an old reliable.

Gobble, Gobble, Pedal, Pedal—it's time for the 7th Annual Black Friday Ride!

We've had an extra day of turkey sandwiches and pie, so let's get to it! I have 3 distances for Saturday: a base of 42, an extra jog up to Limington for 52, and an extra loop down to OOB for 70. The weather will be sunny but breezy, so dress a little warmer than the 37°-44° might indicate. 

This follows the typical SMR moderate pace, but if you have a group that likes a quicker pace, or a slower one, we don't mind—many groups make for more fun! We'll see you at the end for coffee and a muffin (we'll be starting near The Daily Grind, and the Frog & Turtle and Roots Café are nearby).

Start time is 9:00 a.m. from the public parking lot on the corner of Bridge and Main Streets in Westbrook.

11/19 Saturday Ride

So there I was getting ready to post a noon ride for tomorrow since it's going to be cold in the morning. I was going to suggest Pineland, so at least we know there's a hot coffee/cocoa waiting. And then Theresa reminded me the PVC Doppio Ciclo and Fondo are tomorrow.

Well, now I'm befuddled.

I do like the Fondo, there's still coffee, and you can quit after one loop or do both if you need the miles--just bring a non-perishable donation for the Preble Street Food Bank. I'm thinking this is where I'll be. Fair warning: it starts at 7:30 from Cyclemania, so dress warmly!

If you're looking for the noon ride, I still suggest Pineland for all the reasons mentioned above. Theresa says she might do both. There's the skinny way or the hilly way--you can choose up at ride time.
12:00 at the school.

11/10 FRIDAY Ride

Saturday is looking soggy, so I’m going to take advantage of a day off and join the Coffee Ride tomorrow morning, with an option for more miles after the coffee! Feel free to join and respect the more relaxed pace, leaving from Gorham Bike & Ski at 8:00. I’ll check the weather tomorrow to see if Saturday looks any better.

11/5 Saturday Ride

Partly cloudy, 60° at start time, a little breezy—what's not to love? Diane wants to go to Wild Oats in Brunswick; I have a map that goes to Little Dog—we'll know where we're getting our coffee by whether we take School St or Bank.

Wheels roll at 8:00.
