 Steve Sprague: My 2025 Virtual Turkey Burn Challenge goal is 100k. I started off on Thanksgiving with two friends riding around Lake Natoma near Sacramento, California for a freezing cold 20 miles. It was in the high 40's! With no sun and all clouds, it was quite cold all day. 

We took all of the dirt trails around the lake to make it more of a gravel ride. Luckily riding my single speed kept me warm. Black Friday was a similar ride that was downstream of Lake Natoma with my lovely wife. Riding from the house, as you all know, has its advantages. We did an out and back along the American River Parkway netting 26.5 miles of mostly dirt trails and fire roads. The weather was the same, mid 40's and cold all ride long. The company kept me warm the whole ride.

All fours from Day 1.

 

High above Nevada City, California

 I decided to finish up my VTBC mountain biking above Nevada City. The sun rays felt so good! I strung together a winding route along the trail network to net my 100k! I was so excited to achieve my goal a second year in a row for the Virtual Turkey Burn Challenge. Looking forward to next year!

Ride totals.

 Thank you for your wonderful blog and Love the Podcast with you and NY Roll!

Thanks Steve! I think it is interesting how some of the submissions show their mileage totals. Not that we wouldn't believe your stories, but the "evidence" is fun to see on the devices you all are using. 

We've got another submission for tomorrow. Stay tuned!
