Yesterday, the Greater Dallas Bicyclists held their 20th annual Great Pumpkin Ride. We all gathered across from University Park city hall and rode downtown to Farmers' Market.
There, the riders bought pumpkins, the object being to see who could bring back the biggest. One creative guy rigged a TV satellite dish on the handlebars of his mountain bike and used it to carry his 25-pounder, and another gal created bandoliers of mini pumpkins, which she slung over her shoulders. The winner was a 26-pound pumpkin that a team brought back on the handlebars of their tandem.
What a blast we had!
The previous night, the club had a night ride, complete with skeleton shirts and a stop at Clyde Barrow's gravesite. Unfortunately, the pace for that one was going to be more than Sweetie was up to, but who knows? Maybe next year.

You know, Bonnie Parker's gravesite is in Northwest Dallas, too; less grand (especially since someone dandied Clyde's up in the late 80s or early 90s) and less wellknown. I'll show you sometime.
