Turkey Day 2008

Up early, suit up and hit the roadways. Brrr, a bit chilly for a November morning. I didn't get an exact reading, but the needle on the bike was floating just under the 20 degree mark.


Arriving at McCarthy's, I met up with the rest of the crew that would be joining us for breakfast. Scott, Dan, Mike and Mike's son (Mike) and myself hit a breakfast nook down the road a piece. Stuffing down a good breakfast was key for the day's activities; standing outside in the frosty temps, assiting The Mad Butcher as he made his way through the turkey horde.


(For those that would like some background on this day, see last year's post; http://twowheeledtales.blogspot.com/2007/11/turkey-day-2007.html )



As Paul so aptly mentioned in one of his recent posts; what good is a blog without a pic? So here's the pic; it's easy to keep your beers cold when they're wrapped in ice!One of the guys had used a claw hammer to bust up the ice in the cooler and try to get a beer out. Well, he missed and wound up wearing one of the beers. Good fun for those of us watching - not so much fun for him.




There was a good turnout this year, and the turkeys never stood a chance. Unfortunately, I had to bail at noontime, but everything was in good hands when I left.


Good laughs, good times. Anyone interested in making it next year? All you gotta do is bring some food for the feast, a few beers, and a strong stomach.


Not sure I'll have anything else to post before Thanksgiving, so here's wishing everyone a great holiday, full of food, fun, and frivolity.
