The kick-off ride will be the first Saturday after Thanksgiving, Nov. 26, 2011 at 10:00a, meeting at Mike and Terry’s house. There will be a short and medium ride on gravel roads. Afterwards we will chow down on Terry’s Famous Smoked Turkey Chili. Bring your Thanksgiving leftovers. You can burn those extra calories and get rid of your Thanksgiving leftovers!

As most of you know that have participated in these rides in the past, we ride somewhere between 20 – 27 miles or longer on mostly gravel roads. After the ride we eat some hot chili! These rides are a good way to stay in shape through the cold winter months, so that when spring rolls around you can kick some butt. These rides will run on consecutive Saturdays for the winter season. I will be looking for volunteer ride leaders and chili cooks. EMBA will pay for the chili ingredients and we will set up a donation jar at each event as a fundraiser for EMBA. So spread the word.

I will post locations and other details at a later date.
