Hey All CVC'rs What happened to 2011! I just looked at the calender and realized we will be celebrating Thanksgiving in 8 days. And if you have been around for any amount of time, you know what that means... (drum roll please and cue booming voiced announcer) *The Annual Thanksgiving Turkey Day Ride!* That's right, here at the CVC you have to earn the right to plow through all that Thanksgiving culinary bliss. And a nice, social paced, pre-chow ride is just the ticket. So, start working on those excuses to family, friends,visitors and loved ones as to why you will not be around on Thursday morning due to a need to ride your bike. Some of my personal favorites are: "But honey, If I ride, I'll be able to have a second helping of that vile, green, gelatinous desert substance that your mother always brings to dinner" or the the ever popular " You know riding puts me in a great mood, and helps me smile through Uncle Bob's riveting tales of glory as a professional broom ball player". So mark your calenders for the morning of 11/24 and look for your CVC Ride Committee's formal announcement with start time and route in a few days. See you on the road and trail!
