First (Annual?) Turkey Train-Off, December 14th

[matthew23]

Ladies and Gentlemen of UGC, I present to you the First Annual Turkey Train-Off. Wednesday December 14th, at 1155 Gordon Street Unit 93.

As we round out the semester, I would like to welcome you into my home for a delicious turkey dinner. Now dinners like these tend to involve a whole lot of calories and I don't want to be responsible for slowing our team down so you'll be working for your meal.

Bring over your bikes and bring your trainers/rollers for some real punishment. We'll be pushing it while, just feet away, dinner will be cooking in the oven and filling the air with savory aromas. It would also be kind of you to bring a towel and change of clothes to clean up and switch into before dinner.

Training: 3:30-5:30 p.m.
Break: 5:30-7:00 p.m.
Dinner: starts at 7:00 p.m. (as long as the turkey co-operates)

I will be preparing the turkey, and perhaps some dessert. It would be great if you guys could bring some side dishes to accompany. Feel free to borrow my kitchen if need be.

If you would like to come for dinner, but don't have a trainer just show up any time after 5:00 p.m. You are all welcome to bring a significant other or a friend with you. If they have trainers then get them going too, if not just have them meet us later as well.

Please let me know if you can attend and what you would like to contribute.

Good luck with exams everyone!

[Christopher J!]

If I'm still in town I'll be all over this. What I bring will be a surprise, mostly because I don't know what I'll have left in the fridge that I want to get rid of make a masterpiece out of! I'm digging this idea though. totally.

[matthew23]

Sounds good so far, let me know if you guys will be bringing a +1, I want to make sure there's enough food to go around! Flav let me know he'll be a little late, so if anyone wants to hop on a trainer a little later or join in part way thats cool too.

chris I look forward to this masterpiece

man, if only I didn't have a stats exam at 8:30am on the 15th...but if anybody really wants to go and doesn't have any sort of trainer, I have a set of rollers that you are welcome to borrow (provided you can pick them up and bring them back eventually). I would hate for anybody to miss out on something as awesome as this just because they don't have a trainer!

[matthew23]

Hey UGC, let me know by Monday night at the latest if you can make it. I've got to go grocery shopping after all.

Also feel free to come whether I've met you before or have known you a long time. All are welcome, it's a good time of the year to spend with friends, or meet some new ones.

[Wison]

wow, this sounds pimpin'. I'm pretty sure i'm going to schedule this in.

[matthew23]

Hey guys, I'm going out to grab the turkey and a few other things this evening. I just wanted to firm up who's coming, if you're bringing a +1, and if anyone else is planning on joining.

Let me know, and see you guys soon!

[Mariah]

this would be super sweet!! ... but lame exams are being lame again and keeping me away from what I love .. enjoy everyone!

[Christopher J!]

I"ll be coming, flying solo. Might make a squash or something like that

[andrewm]

My last exam ends at 4:30, so I may show up for a little bit. I can bring my famous cappuccino flavored recovery drink if anyone is interested.

[flav]

So of course my luck with wheelsets has presented me with a new surprise the night before this event, one of my spokes is out on my road bike and the wheel is effed up to the point its rubbing against the Ssatstays :/

Anyone got an extra back wheel?!

[matthew23]

For drinks tomorrow I have an assortment of red and white wines, and just had a couple 24s sent my way, so if you like Keiths or Creemore, I've got you covered. I've got a nice big turkey for tomorrow night so if any last minuters decide to come there will be plenty of food to go around.


@mariah, Its too bad you and Kayla have exams tomorrow night. It was good seeing you two today though!

chris, Squash sounds good to me.

Andrew, I haven't tried this famous cappucinno flavoured recovery drink so bring it on over.

Alex, head on over whenever you're ready then. Feel free to hop on my bike for awhile too. I'll probably be tending to dinner a bit here and there
