Are we doing the Halloween bike ride this year? I have participated for the past two years and really loved it. My friends and I have been looking forward to it; however, I have not seen any info for it this year. Does anyone know the scoop? -- Last year's Astronaut.
Yes. We (anonymous, no longer Bike ABQ) are doing it the same as last year, except there will be a corresponding alley cat race, separately, for the Hammerheads. Fliers should be in bike shops now. I know they are in Fixed and Free, the new shop on Tulane, one block S. of Central, in Nob Hill.
I'm begging for some details so I don't have to wander over to Fixed and Free, my otero ride this morning has left me in desperate need of a recuperative nap.
The most pertinent questions:
1) Will it be more "casual biker friendly" than last years uphill jaunt?
2) More specifically, will it be a downhill flow on central through downtown/oldtown/ then back up MLK? My less uphill friendly friends need to know this rather desperately or you'll be stuck with just me (trust me, you want my not uphill friendly friends to come to this)
3) Will there be a gathering afterwards for beer (this is what decides whether I haul a ulock with me or not)?
4) Will Julian be dressed up like a pirate?
