After years of watching people ride by the house in silly costumes and decorated bikes we decide this year to join the MADNESS!! Yesterday along with 10,000 – 12,000 other bicyclists decked out in wild and crazy costumes we pedaled through Fort Collins on a 2 hour bicycle parade for the Annual TOUR DE FAT. I know there is some eco friendly reason for the parade and day long festivities sponsored by New Belgium Brewery … a local Micro Brewery - www.newbelgium.com/tour-de-fat .. but for us it was a day full of family fun. Together with our great friends JC and Jen Van Cleave and their kids we spent Friday Night decorating our bikes then hit the parade Saturday morning for a ride around town.
~ Makenna and Elmo rode in the trailer ... she waved like she was the Princess of the Parade ~
~ Super Mom and Batman Justin ~
~ 3 Amigos ... Andy, Dwight and JC ~It was total creative chaos and I’m sure a complete freak show for the kids … but I must say it was a BLAST and Justin is already looking forward to next year’s parade.
