BFish Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Well it's almost that time again. Turkey day is 11/22 so traditionally Biketurkeyfest this year would be Sunday 11/25 at the Blackwater Inn in beautiful downtown Astor, FL. http://www.blackwaterinn.com/index.cfm?screenwidth=1280 We usually begin arriving between 1030 and 1130 and meet/greet in the parking lot. The gate opens to the upstairs/outside area at 1130 and we head up at that time. For those of you who may not have attended in the past the menu upstairs in basically a bar menu. Food is good and reasonably priced. So this is it: Biketurkeyfest III Sunday 11/24 (meet/greet 1030-1130) Blackwater Inn (see link above) Astor, FL just west of St Johns river drawbridge. Let's see a show of hands please.
tallman Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Probably IN. Gator game is the day b4 and I might be in riding condition, or not.
Jacqueline Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Out , I'll be somewhere on the West Coast.
BFish Posted October 15, 2007 Author Posted October 15, 2007 Out , I'll be somewhere on the West Coast. then i guess we won't be meeting at the gas station on 44 like last year!!! talk to you soon.
RichEdwards Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 I'll be heading back from Thanksgiving in NY area. If I can manage it, I'll swing by in time for the Biketurkeyfest. Not sure I can make it in time though.
roadscholar Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 I'll be there and plan on exploring some forest roads after lunch if anyone's interested.
Scooterbrained Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Forest Roads? What are Forest Roads? These Forest Roads you write of, what is they? Marty
roadscholar Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Funny man. I'm counting on you going since you already know them all. I was thinking south of 40 this time..?
BFish Posted October 17, 2007 Author Posted October 17, 2007 richard d can get you from deland to astor on dirt i think. if you hear the banjo turn around.
roadscholar Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Shovelstroke Ed already found that road,...on his Blackbird, he wasn't happy.
randys Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Hell with the banjos, its when the bears come out that you want to scoot!
Scooterbrained Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 On the DRZ I presume! I hear from Rich D. you may have one. There is a big sandy bowl south of 40 with a few hillclimbs. We are leaving for Cashiers, NC in the morning(Friday) for some motorized mountain bikin'!. Mounted a new rear SNOBBIE tonight. The one from Montana finally gave up the ghost at 7262 miles. Marty
roadscholar Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Have fun and be careful, the ground isn't so soft up there. When I mentioned "forest roads" I hadn't exactly pictured "big sandy bowls with hillclimbs", but we'll see.
