Mt. Pleasant Deck the Bikes 2011 - Featuring New Belgium Brews!

It may be cold outside, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be on your bike! Bundle up, get out your tinsel, and join us for the Mt Pleasant Cruiser Ride. Dress up like Santa's lost elf, a Menorah candle, Jack Frost or don your finest Dashiki.

Join us on the first night of Hanukkah, Decemeber 20, 2011 at 8:30 pm in Lamont Park (at the corner Mt. Pleasant St and Lamont) to celebrate winter on a bike.

We'll ride down to check out the National Christmas tree and then back up to Mt. Pleasant to warm up with a drink at Tonic. <-- Note new location!

In the spirit of the giving season, Tonic is going to give us access to their upstairs bar and $5 Fat Tire draft specials (normally $7!). Best of all, our favorite New Belgium distributor, John Gartner, is buying the first round of Fat Tire Brews for everyone who rides!!

Deck the Bikes with Boughs of Lights,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

A big shoutout to Greg Billings for helping to make the New Belgium connection happen. Also, Greg reminds all of us that outfitting your bike with some Fat Tires for the winter can help with stability on the ice and snow.

If we can get the tunes in order, we'll be blasting the brightest music you can think of - DISCO. Leisure suits and disco balls also welcome.

Costume yourself, costume your bike, and get ready for a great fall crusier ride. Bring candy to hand out to folks on the street as we pass by. :)

And remember...

When on the night of Halloween,
“trick or treat” in twos or threes.
wear bright clothing that will not burn,
carry a flashlight and wear a watch.
Stay together, walk, do not run,
cross the street at the corner walk.
Receive the candy at the door,
do not go inside, for more.
Be polite and thank the giver,
never play a vandal’s trick.
Do not eat any candy,
before your parents check for safety.
Finish the night of Trick or Treat
eating the gifts of candy sweets.

Sexy Labor Day Ride

Beautiful Mt. Pleasant Cruiser Riders,

Labor Day may be a few weeks behind us, but this month, let's remember the true spirit of Labor Day. It's not just about the last 3 day weekend at the beach or BBQs. According to greatest enclopedia on the internet, the form of celebration for Labor Day is to be a street parade to exhibit to the public "the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations" followed by a festival for the workers and their families.

Therefore, this month each person will be dressing up as their favorite laborer. I'm thinking beautiful nurses, talented teachers, calenderworthy firemen, sexy steelworkers, electric electricians, etc. Although since the professional sports organizations seem to be having so many labor disputes - a football player or basketball player would fit the theme as well.

It's also Cat's birthday (!) so everyone feel free to buy her a drink at the Raven.

Jordan Kupersmith will be leading the ride and providing the tunes for Brendan to play for the enjoyment of all!
