Kennedy Turkey Day 2012

[snowjnky]

Ride up the hill, hang out, drink beer, eat a lot, jager shots, admire Sparky's beard, ride down the hill.

[snowjnky]

I will be there. PBR, some fancy stuff and cookies. My have a 2 year old tag-a-long this time, so I might have to skip the Jager shots.

[motorbacon]

Gonna try to make it.

[Sorcerer]

In...single speeding...double IPAs

[Leopold Porkstacker]

So the question is: What are you bringing to share?

Beer. Hopefully bringing a couple German 2-liter bottles of good schtuff.

Fortunately, most two year olds don’t know what Jaegermeister is, so I think you’re safe.

[pmarshall]

I am in for sure. What will I bring you ask? I will bring a deep fat fryer and will be making funnel cakes at the top. It is pretty simple really. I just need to tote up about two 5 gallon propane tanks, deep fat fryer, fire extinguisher, plaid oven mitts, lace apron, 10 gallons of vegetable oil and the dough. Jeez, I think that is all. Oh yeah, powdered sugar too. I was going to tow up a taco stand but that just seems over the top and not really as festive. See you all up there.

Harumphh....we were expecting tacos

[Dion]

Paul, I'll hook up the taco stand. I'm going to attach a trailer with an entire mariachi band.

[motorbacon]

Just ordered a parts to climb the hill. I am excite. I hope my commuter tires don't kill me.

[ask]

In.

It looks like my wife is off this year (at least so far), so I may leave the kids at home w/ her this year to sleep in... really depends on the weather. If I am not towing 2 knuckleheads in a trailer, I may singlespeed it this year.

Either way I'll bring some DIPAs and treats.

I was just thinkin' about that. My kid will still hardly be up by shove off time, let alone have the patience for an hour of climbing.

Bring the refound Ritchey! I'm bringin' mine this year.

Coming up Kennedy or that other trail ? Just curious. Can't wait to see the SS.

Down in the South Bay this year. Will bring some Bud Light Platinum.

[myitch]

Will be there hopefully with a few newbies. I will bring a turkey pie. Any recommendation as to how I could carry the pie up the mountain without getting it smashed in my camelpak?

Funny. I was thinking of bringing a pie too. But it's pretty fragile with the crispy crust and soft innards. So, I changed to something else. Otherwise, if it must be a pie, a Tupperware container and a sense of humor as it'll be all squished up by the time we reach the top.

Nelson34’s got a decent trailer for that sort of getup.

What about the ultra-light carbotanium?

My plan afterward is to go back down Woods via the Rollercoasters (Bogdan’s got a funny story about last year) through Quicksilver… unless the rains have closed Quicksilver, in which case my plan will be to go up Barlow to Umuhnum and back down Barlow to Woods and down Hicks one way or the other.

Oh, I figured it out. Living in London with a bicycle for a few years does offer great insights into how to carry things on your bike. Look for me on the day and I will show you how it's done. .

Yea, London has lots of streets that are just a steep and bumpy as Kennedy. We shall see.

Meet IFO Summit Cycles, downtown Los Gatos, 8am.

Is this the start? I can imagine trail head parking is going to be packed.

[francois]

This is the official start. People who start from other places and times are lost.

[beaverbiker]

You can start anywhere and most people do. You know where the trail is and you pretty much can't get there too early, but you can get there too late. The worst thing you can do is show up late and drive to the trailhead looking for a spot.

Plan to bring Brownies (yes family friendly ones)

[caldaw]

I'm in and will bring brownies (yes family friendly ones!)

[pmarshall]

I just realized that Turkey day is on a Thursday and I get off at 7am. I will bring my bike to work and head over after I get off for the start of the ride. I am going to need some serious coffee before, during and after the ride. 12 hour night shift s slowly killing me. Oh well, two tears in a bucket, f**k it.
