                     Thanksgiving Century Extravaganza

                     - Tarheel Cyclists, Charlotte NC -


         Countless individuals have come to me asking:

             "Where can I find good, long rides over Thanksgiving?"

             "How can I battle Thanksgiving waistline creep?"

             "When can I train for the December Solstice Centuries?"

         Well, here's the answer to all these plaintive cries:

              The Tarheels Thanksgiving Century Extravaganza!

         Be the first to try out potential new Solstice routes, while
         savoring some old ones as well. Join a small but indefatigable
         community of century-maniacs pedalling into the now leafless
         wilderness. Find an excuse to carbo-load even at this time of year.

         There's a century every day, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and
         Sunday. (Individual rides may be cancelled on account of weather.)
         We are considering a 51-mile extra-credit option, for those for
         whom a century "just isn't enough!"

         Rides will start Thursday and Saturday at The Panhandle, SC-160
         at US-521 south of Pineville; Friday and Sunday at Bain School in
         Mint Hill, NC-51 at NC-218.

                7:30am 28 Nov. Thu. - The Panhandle
                7:30am 29 Nov. Fri. - Bain School
                7:30am 30 Nov. Sat. - The Panhandle
                7:30am  1 Dec. Sun. - Bain School

         Meet for all rides at 7:30am. The rides are unsupported but come
         with route sheets and/or maps that indicate food stores. For info
         and updates, phone John Lee Ellis at (704) 527-3543 - preferably a
         few days before Thanksgiving.
2116.2Driving down...NOVA::FISHERRdb/VMS DinosaurMon Nov 04 1991 10:369
    I am taking the Voyager down for the aforementioned extravaganza.
    
    Anyone interested in carpooling is invited.
    
    (I'd even be willing to shuttle a bike for someone who chose to fly
    because he didn't have the time to ride.  I do not yet know my
    schedule.)
