The 2009 MBB Halloween ride proved to be a hilarious success! Cameron the functional beer keg, Drew with the 'do and the FU handlebar freak, Rob the clown, Christian the haz-mat worker, Marc the pirate, Kathleen the she-devil, Jared the plug, Jon the fully functional socket, and Lenny as Pee-Wee Herman with accessorized bike made the trip through the woods in complete costume. Cameron won best costume since some of us were drinking from his head-tap, that is until Marc showed up and we thought he was going to steal our booty and make us walk off the Devil's Drop bridge to Davy Jones's locker. Drew won scariest costume for his small freaky man with a "bird" on his handlebars. Both were excited to eat their gummy ribbons before the official Halloween start. No one could reasonably hold out for BEvERageS until B&H's so we took a stop near the downed pavilion to raise some hell and down some drinks. Some pictures were taken of the beer keg "leaking", and Pee Wee repeating a similar gesture that resulted in an arrest years ago. The Pee Wee bike succumbed to the environment, dropping bike panels along the way, leaving a structurally-deficient shoelace to wrap around the rear Presta valve and shear it off in what is probably the worst sound to a mountain biker. After taking 10 minutes to fix the self-induced flat, we rolled across Corrigan and towards the parking lot to change up and head to B&H's where we drank merrily.
