About
Calling all blood-sucking Vampires: rise from your coffins on the evening of Wednesday, July 8th to join other Phantoms of the Night on Bikes!
THEME:
Vampires! We'll ride to a playlist of vampiric songs, including film soundtracks, metal, darkwave, post-punk, new wave, alt rock/emo, hip hop and plenty more. Cosplaying as your favorite vampire/dressing in vampiric garb/showing off your fangs is strongly encouraged! Blood makeup will be provided onsite in case anyone wants to be “bit” so they can let the vampirism take hold…
No Garlic allowed!!
ROUTE:
Route will be about 12 miles with a store stop, taking roughly 2ish hours in total. Ride is a loop. This will be a social-paced ride moving at about 8-12 mph. All wheels welcome.
While the route won’t be posted beforehand, feel free to ask one of the ride leaders about specifics at stops if you have questions.
