Mile-high smiles at Tommy D’s Turkey Day Juniors Ride 2012
Turkey feather relay race frontline
Today Tom and Stephanie Danielson welcomed about 400 visitors for a juniors’ cycling feast.
Twenty pounds of oatmeal*, nineteen apple and pumpkin pies, and eighteen gallons of apple cider fueled 150 juniors and 50 adults who zipped, bounced, and zagged along a taped-off course near Boulder Reservoir as family and spectators cheered, snapped photos, and let laughs fly.
This year’s Tommy D’s Turkey Day Ride for Juniors saw more than double the number of riders and family members who enjoyed the event in 2011. They all walked or rode away with the reminder that any day you can balance on two wheels is a gift, and one that’s meant to be shared.
