2014 TURKEY ROLL<\/a><\/h2>\n

Denton Kiwanis Club<\/h3>\n

Let’s REMEMBER LAST YEAR: November 22, 2014 for the 32nd Turkey Roll Bicycle Rally:
\nThe 2014 Turkey Roll is history, but the good news keeps coming in. Over 600 signed up… however the weather kept our numbers down to 220 very tuff riders! Our 5 NEW Bill Utter Truck Sag wagons got lots of use, as riders succumbed to the Tough Turkey Roll conditions. In spite of the “foul” conditions, we still managed to raised OVER $9,000 for our charities. Thanks for your support!<\/p>\n

Got out yesterday, 1\/6\/15, in the awesome weather we experienced before this cold front hit today. Got to play with my new toys in the form of a Go-Pro white 3, and some (like new) 2014 Easton Haven wheels. The wheels are an awesome upgrade to my stock DT Swiss X 1900’s that had rear freewheel issues. After the warranty replacement wheel crapped out, I went a different direction and found these Haven’s on ebay for $250! Couldn’t believe the great deal, and now even more so that they are such an overall improvement in weight and performance.
\nSo here is my attempt at using the Go-Pro. Please be gentle, I am new at videoing, and I’m out of shape! Oh the holidays…
\nThe trail network consists of 3 areas. The inner loop White-tail Hollow trail(tight and twisty wooded easy) \/ outer loop Coyote Run\/Fossil Ridge trail (lots of roller coaster ups and downs more rocks) \/ what we used to call …
