Turkey Day is right around the corner and so is Turkey Bike 2011! The gist of this cycling venture is as follows: On Saturday, November 19, participants meet up 8:00am at Cycle Craft: The Ultimate Bicycle Store in Parsippany, NJ (located at New Road & Route 46). The group will then cycle over to the local supermarket and pick up some frozen turkeys. The cyclists must deliver these turkeys over to the New Jersey Food Bank Turkey Drive drop off point in Florham Park. This ride isn't too far... only 10 miles. BUT the catch is that you have to carry (in some cases) a 25 pound turkey with you on your bike! Instead of a noble attempt to balance the turkey carcass on your head, I recommend a much easier device: bring a backpack.
This is a great way to get involved in your local community, maintain your healthy lifestyle AND help people all at the same time! In 2009, the group delivered 12 turkeys. Last year they delivered 27! Help them break the record this year! The goal is 60 turkeys!
It is free to enter, save for the cost of one turkey!
