Couldn't find an organized mountain bike ride for Thanksgiving Day, but I did find a good one for Saturday, in Greensboro. It's the Burn the Turkey ride and the great thing about it for Triangle cyclists who haven't ridden in Greensboro is that it's essentially a guided tour of the Triad's best mountain biking, along the shores of Lake Brandt and Reedy Fork Creek. The trails have been around for a while, but can be a bit tricky to gain access to. And, like most trail networks, you'll get the most out of 'em if you ride with someone who's intimately familiar with them.
It's advertised as a no-drop, ride-at-your-own-pace affair, suggesting enough people are expected to show that you'll likely settle in with folks of your own riding level. Ride begins at noon at the lower parking lot in Bur-Mil Park.
