SUMMARY:ELECTRIC LIGHT PARADE / Halloween Ghost Ride
DESCRIPTION:Cross-posting this fun event hosted by John Quinn. The Ventura Electric Light Parade.\nLight-up your bike and join us for this special Halloween cruise to the sounds of Monster Mash and other haunting tunes as we roll. Costumes are welcome\, or just be yourself. Do be mindful of long capes or fringe that could get caught in your tires. \nWe will be riding up to main street to toss out candy to the tick-or-treaters. Come prepared with a bag that you can put on your handlebars filled with candy. It so much fun for these kiddos to see our colorful bikes roll up and discover we are tossing out candy! \nThese rides are a “cruise” at a leisurely pace\, along the beach. A sunset ride out and a night ride on the way back! The pace is so relaxing (slow)\, you might want to bring your “analog” bike instead. \n\nBoom boxes are pulled by the leader (John Quinn) and the sweep (Thomas Healy). The playlist is pretty cool and sometimes pumping music!\nThis event belongs to “Ventura Electric Light Parade” and we are cross-posting this – so we’ll be guests on this ride.\n\nGET LIT! \n\nDecorate your bike with lights galore. It’s not just pretty but helps with safety on the road. You can find lights on Amazon. I’m sure it’s the start of a new obsession!\nI suggest putting lights on your bike the day before\, as it can take time to get them on just right.\n\nHere is John’s event page: \n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/295050229712976/\n\nHere’s a video of a past ride:\nhttps://fb.watch/CdM4LD082B/ \nTHE START / END TIME DESCRIPTION.\n📍 Meet at Beach House Tacos on the Ventura Pier by 5:45 PM \n\nBeach House Tacos\, 668 E Harbor Blvd\, Ventura\, CA 93001\n\n⏰ Parade rolls out at 6:00 PM \nMeet at 5:00 if you would like to have a pre-ride dinner at Beach House Tacos. \nMILEAGE: 20 MILES \n\nMost riders are “analog” so between 8-10mph (slo-o-o-ow)\nE-bikes are welcome!\n\nBE PREPARED\nImportant: This is a night ride. Be sure to have a working headlight and tail light on your bike. \n\nCandy for the trick-or-treaters.\nLight-up your bike!\nCostume – Encouraged\, but optional.\nMake sure you come prepared with tools to change a flat or add air to a tire.\nBeing by the beach and evening\, dress in layers.\nWater\, of course!\nHelmet\n\nLOCATION / ADDRESS MEETUP \n\nBeach House Tacos\, 668 E Harbor Blvd\, Ventura\, CA 93001\n\nPARKING\nParking structure next to the pier. https://maps.app.goo.gl/eiG3xAzsRnP17uTt6\n$2 per hour/$10 max.
