Description: The 18th Annual Turkey Drive, with the Bike Hikers, to deliver turkeys to Cal Expo for the Sacramento Food Bank. We will ride from 5 Points shopping center at 11:00 AM for a 12ish delivery time to possibly be on KCRA, Channel 3, TV noon news.
Bring your turkey(s) with you to 5 Points. For those that don't have a way to carry turkeys to the Cal Expo drop-off location, a vehicle will be available to transport them.
There is no designated store to buy turkeys from this year; however, there is a Raley's close by at 5159 Fair Oaks Blvd., Carmichael, CA (at Fair Oaks Blvd. and Walnut Ave.)
Another option is to donate money. $20.00 will buy one turkey for the Sacramento Food Bank. Cash or checks are accepted.
We will ride the bike trail to Cal Expo. After the donation, for those that want to attend, we will ride to have lunch at CAP's Pizza and Tap House located at 8760 La Riviera Dr A, Sacramento, CA 95826. Afterwards, we return to 5 Points.
