I'm off and will be out of town until Sunday, so let's do this all in one shot.
Any big ride plans though the weekend? Any turkey day riding planned?

No turkey ride planned. I am hoping to get some riding in Friday afternoon and Sunday. 
Sunday is pretty much a lock....if the damn rain holds off.

We'll see. I've been off my bike for 2 full weeks now trying to let my knee heal. I'm itching to get out there.
I had a nice rainy ride to work this morning. It was a blast. My co-workers think I'm crazy. I walked in to the office dripping-wet with a big smile. 
No rides over the weekend, I'll have my hands full with both an 8-year old and a 9-year old nephew. Should be a hoot.

We have our annual Trailblazers tradition of a Thanksgiving morning ride, rain, snow, or shine. Other than that, it's outdoor riding whenever the skies are clear, or trainer whenever they're not.
Ahhh what goes better with a taste of Turkey then a taste of the Ouachita Challenge???
The Challenge pre ride will be from Big Brushy campground and will use the Ouachita trail and forest roads to make a 5 to 6 hour ride of 40 miles or so. Saturday after Thanksgiving, start at 8 am. No support, everyone has to provide their own water, food and especially repair capability but we won't be too far away from civilization.
This will be the 4th year for the "new" Ouachita Challenge and this and this year as usual there will be a preview ride of some of the trail that will be included in the spring "challenge.
The pre ride will be on Sat. Nov. 27 and will start from Big Brushy campground at 8 am. This is an UNSUPPORTED ride on the O.T. using FS roads to make a loop of about 6 hours. There will be several shortcuts if you can't finish but please remember to bring lots of water, food and spare parts. We hope to have simple maps of the route available.

No, alas, my racing schedule is already full. I'm trying to hit some new spots this year because I think I will "retire" after it. I want to get back to trying new riding spots for fun I think.
Yah, I have plenty to keep me on the trainer though.wooglin said:Bummer. I'm already looking forward to it. If nothing else it gets me on the trainer.
The Texas Nationals will be nice and early in my season. WOOHOO
