Pacific Bike & Ski Turkey Grinder III (2015)

The Saturday Facebook post read "The Turkey Grinder is tomorrow!!!  See you all at the shop at 8am!  The weather looks good (dry) for the day!".   I don't know what weather forecast Paul was looking at but 7am on Sunday morning and it was raining cats and dogs.  


People this is the Pacific Northwest and riding in the rain comes with the territory.  So I kitted up, lights and mud guards on I head out to the rallying point at the shop.  Riders roll in and by the time we head out we are 14 strong and looking forward to the 3rd annual Turkey Grinder.

The ride was a great mix of road, gravel, trail, single track with a surprise break hosted by Dana before the monster climb.  Hot coffee and oatmeal as well as water refills for those that wanted it.  The sun even came out for a moment.

Then before the chills set in the group was off to conquer the Tolt McDonald single track climb.  The perfect remedy for the cold.  Half way up and the furnace was at full steam.

We finished the ride on the road and arriving back at the shop ready to head home and refuel after a hard but satisfying effort.   Don't take my word for it check out the video below.




Until Next Time Max Life Out and Keep it Rubber Side Down
