LET‘S CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN WITH A CRUISE THROUGH DOWNTOWN SPRINGFIELD!!! Thanks to Dan and Keri Casson for organizing this fun event. Meet at the parking lot behind the Abraham Lincoln library parking lot at 5:45. Putz around downtown at a leisurely pace for a few miles. Route TBD but will likely include some parking garages (the views are great at night time) and anything anything else that looks interesting. Then, we‘ll all ride to Obeds for drinks around 7:30ish. For those who prefer to drive to Obed‘s we‘ll make a pit stop at the library first. When we‘re all ready to leave, we‘ll ride the 3 ish blocks back to the library. There will be some sort of a prize for best costume/bike decoration.

Let‘s hop on to the Bikes, Boos & Booze ride tonight to try something new. Cruise downtown Springfield with a social break at Obed‘s. See the Bikes, Boos and Booze ride listing for details. Note the slightly different starting time.

Let‘s get together at Springfield Beer Company to close out the season‘s D Ride with a flair. Grab some food at Freddy‘s next door, get a beverage somewhere and visit with your ride buddies on the last Wednesday night ride (sorta) of the season. Lights not required, but you can bring them if you want!!
