For the first time in four years we didn't have 30mph winds or rain. Instead this year we got heat. Despite the 88 degree temperature it was still a great time.

Tonight we met up at Century II and rode as a group to the Shamrock as a gesture of support for our friend Erick and his battle against cancer. At the Shamrock we had pizza except for Erick who had fish as the pizza had all been eaten by the time he arrived.

SOME BIG SMALL TOWN FUN.

The Thursday before Halloween (Oct 30th) is the Halloween Pub Pedal or "Hallowheelie". Wear a costume and decorate your bike.

Meet at the Shamrock at 7:00pm. After a beverage we'll head West instead of the usual East and ride to and through the Lights On St Paul Christmas lights display. This is about a 1 mile ride from the Shamrock.

The lights shut down at 9:00pm so we'll need to leave promptly.

After we'll head back East and stop at the Vagabond for a warm drink if needed. Then on to Downtown and Old Town to check out the lights there.

Plan to ride no matter what the weather.
Decorate yourself and/or your bike if you like.
