Turkey ride Mission Peak 2012

[zorg]

A few of us are going. Is there anybody else going this year? Based on weather forecast, we may have to go up Stanford.

Normal A-ride pace?

Normal A-ride pace?

Absolutely. Go all out to the top, puke and then drink a shot.

Ohlone is completely dry and was good a day after the last rain.

I rode stanford this morning, velcro traction up most of the steep stuffs. Did go further than the Y though.

Another guy rode up from Ohlone and his bike looks clean.

This place need about a day to dry but if you have to, it is ridable immediately after rain, or in the rain.

Cool. If it does not rain too much over the next 24 hours, we'll go up Ohlone.

We'll start from Ohlone college before 8:30.

That was a kick! Quite a turnout this year with some incredible eats. Thanks to the Mission Peak Dawgz and all others who contributed. We'll hit 500 next year.

[twindaddy]

turkey day prep now!!

That's what I'm calling it too. Of course it's really just watching football and drinking beer, but she doesn't need to know ;-)

Slapped together a crappy little video.

Hope you guys enjoy the food. Will be there again next year and you all are always invited. Bring the family or friends and join us.

With a wide open space, no over crowding, a table, an outhouse, nice weather, a very nice view, food and so many riders. what else can we ask for?

[ancient rascal]

Looks like a cool party guys! All the "reservoir dogs" make it off the mountain without incident? We had a few mishaps at Kennedy's turkey day ride ... one involved a badly broken arm on dogmeat.

When we first did it (pre lechon days) a few years back, I think that 6 people showed up. It looks like 100 riders were there this year, and some more were climbing up as we were descending.

Lot's of riders now realize it's pretty up there despite its challenge. Same thing with the hikers. When Francis and other guys started riding there, way back when, it is their private trail. Now it is crowded. We'll be up there at the Hang Gliding area on Dec. 16, Sunday, for Christmas @ The Peak. We'll be pulling food again to the top. It is a potluck.
