Cannock Turkey Twizzler - The Annual Retrobike Christmas Ride 2011
:: Date: Wednesday 28th December 2011
:: Distance/time: 18 miles or so spread out over a full day's riding with plenty of fuel stops and banter. Several short cut options available too.
:: Meeting at: Birches Valley Car Park, Cannock Chase. Please arrive by 10 a.m. for a 10.30 a.m. start.
:: Directions: Postcode: WS15 2UQ
:: Terrain: Forest trails, many man made.
:: Route: The morning will be the classic ‘Follow the Dog' trail, and after a stop for food we'll head off for some of the newly created trails and a bit of off piste.
The Turkey Twizzler returns to it's traditional Christmas week slot this year, but this time it's on a Wednesday*.
So if you've consumed your own body weight in mince pies and mulled wine, this will be the perfect opportunity to break away from the Xmas food fest and shed a pound or two in the Cannockshire mud.
This ride has attracted nearly 50 riders in the past so it's a great place to put some faces to those forum names.
There will also probably be a bit of a cycle jumble going on after the ride, so bring along any bits you want to swap, sell or give away as part of the festivities.
There will also probably be a few people keen to get there for an 8am 'early bird' ride. For the rest it's a 10am meet up with a 10:30am ride start.

* Wednesday I hear you cry! I know! Take a look at a calendar and you'll see how Christmas and New Year awkwardly fall on the weekends.
After much deliberation about a pre-Xmas or post-New Year date, we decided that the Turkey Twizzler had to be on the 28th in the end. It just wouldn't be Christmas without it.
