I'm all down for Hamilton that weekend ... I guess you can't do 10/31? And how's about adding in Kinkaid?

10/31 is doable for me if it is for everyone else. I just chose November because it seem more Turkeyish.

Yep , 10/31 would be better so as to not conflict with Giro d'Vino. Anyone doing both days would be able to use the Giro d'Vino as a flat recovery ride

Sounds good ... just mapped it out, and with the Kinkaid detour, it comes out to 50 miles, 6978 feet of climbing.

Sounds like fun. I should be able to join in.
Do we have to get dressed like pilgrims or turkeys?

The big question for me is what time? If I'm going to drive down from Sac, earlier is not exactly better.

We're probably in.
Thanksgiving day itself is reserved for the Low Key up Hamilton.

9 am should be fine. Can some more info on the starting location be provided? Address/shops/etc? And we're on for the 31st?

Ron,
The whole of Kinkaid, or just to that bridge and back?
Also... no Crothers?

I guess being on 10/31 we could make this the Halloween ride and have the Turkey ride a different weekend (that I can't make).

Just Crothers to Hamilton Rd would be a welcome excursion, without getting too crazy.

I remember the ride last year was c-c-c-cold. The descent down Hamilton was miserable. Hope it's warmer this year.
