If you don't do the facebook thing ...

It's September, and the full moon is coming, and you know what that means ... the 29th Annual Moonlight Cruze Bike Ride!
If you only make one bike ride this year ... make this one! (But really, if you only make one bike ride a year -- you should try to get out more!)

This is the best ride of the year, bar none!

Be at the Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge at 2:00am this Saturday night/Sunday morning, and we roll out at about 2:30am.
Last year we had roughly 500 people riding ... let's see if we can beat that this year!

Never forget! Bring a bud!

And from Eric Mills ... the history of "The Cruze" --

Here's the real deal on the Real Annual Austin Moonlight Cruze:

Back in the day the Cruze got started by Lynn Carter and the old Austin Cruzer Bike Shop on 34th street. It was officially sponsored by the shop, with registration, maps, and everything. The shop stopped sponsoring the ride one year after a rider was hit and killed by a driver on his way home afterwards.
Previous to that, the date was always the Sunday closest to the September full moon. It never had anything to do with the Harvest Moon. The year after the accident, with no official leader or sponsor, we all showed up at the usual spot, at the usual time, and found a pile of route maps waiting for us on the pavement. So we did the ride, and have continued to do so on the same route every year on the Sunday closest to the full moon in September.
