The Turkey Burner is an annual Mt bike ride sponsered by FOMBA ( www.fomba.org ) and it has a 12 Mile route and you can add the "hero" loop which is another 12 Miles.
and an Map of all the single track in the Hero section is here http://www.fomba.org/Map/fomba.pdf
anyway I saw Quo Fan, JerseyGirl , JustBill , Oldbroad and Douglas, and numous Non- forum members whom I knew .
there wer ealso Alot of people who Recognized Me and looked familiar to me , But I did not remeber there names ( I gave them Tours of Vietnam)
It was a Cold day to start, I was up at my In-laws In New London , NH where it was 18 degrees when I left for Massabesic, and It warmed up a little as I drove. It was 30 Degrees when I got there. Here is the main parking lot , Bike , bikes and More Bikes
We ( douglas and I ) ran Into Justbill and his son Noah in the Other parking lot. Here Noah is showing His bad ass Schwiinn Homegrown , I took it for a spin that bike is Sweet!!!
Once we started Douglas and I were keeping a pretty quick Pace , so I did not have time for too many Pics for the first few ( 8 or so ) miles .
It had rained Pretty had on thanksgiving , and then got cold , the combo of frozen water and Leave cover isa Bad combination, at about 5 miles we came across this.
they said he had a Broke wrist ( compound ) , and the man was in some serious Pain .
always a sad sight to see.
at a little over 8 miles the local Fire department , had set up a water /Hot coa coa stop
Douglas trying to get some feeling back into his toes using the Hot coa coa.
We decided here we were going to do the Hero loop ( 25 mile ride instead of a 12 ) , but douglas need to warm his toes so we stopped right after this at a local store where he went and warmed his toes.
We hit the awesome single track , really started enjoying it ! , decided to slow our pace down , because we were pushing so hard it is what was making us cold. Toes and Fingers that is.
I don't know who this is , but I liked the Pic.
Douglas, Just Riding along
We took a breather after one of the sections of Single track, and Douglas took a Picture of me. ( on the left ) and My glasses fogged up !! note you can't see through them even here in the picture.
and is that Serial Midget on the right side ?
Douglas going over little bridge used to cross a stone wall
Tim Cantwell , getting stuck between 2 trees ! I've known him for quite a while ( dam almost 20 years ! )
This was a fun little rock vise
Douglas Doing the log roll. , really steep , really smooth , really fun!!!
And Totally , Bonked , Totally Spent , we did the last couple miles down the old rail bed back to the parking lot. 25 Miles , 4 hours and a Lot of Fun!!
this is a really low tunnel on the way back , and my last pic
and it was 37 degrees when we got back ! so It didn't really warm up that much!
and when it is that cold and you leave your Enegry Gel in your camel Back , you have to Chew it !!!
