BIKE: Jingle Bell Ride

[Robert Flegal]

Hi Charlie,

I've done the ride and it's a blast.  The ride (as I remember) lasts a 
couple of hours with lots of stops to let everyone catch up.  Last year 
there were about one thousand riders of all skill levels. This years route 
is published on the ACA site.  Part of the route is reasonable dark so 
'blinkies' and lights are in order.

My favorite part of the ride is when the whole crowd Moos like cattle 
making enough noise to cause residents to come out and see "the herd".

Hope to see you there,
Bob Flegal
