Leaping Lizards!!!    Holy defibrillator Batman and Robin !!! 
How many bikers will we be having?  
2 bikes, 4 bikes, 6 bikes a Taco!
Will you be wanting extra police protection?
No thank you, Chief O'Hara. This time I think Robin and I better go at it alone. Any large contingent of police officers might create unnecessary confusion.
Good work Robin!
Drugs will get you thru times of no hugs
Better than hugs will get you through times of no drugs
Much grass Batman! 

"The 71 Mules Bike Trip should be just that.  Almost as much fun as the Mule Stall after chewing Teaberry gum cured in an old Banana Peel!  Would be great for you to come roll with us."

"One ride as we flow and melt into the sun, together.

 Having a sag car does not mean there cannot be other folks joining in with their respective vehicles.  Let’s make this a parade!  Heck, if some one wants to dribble a basketball the whole way, that is permitted.

If any one knows where I can get a wig of hair just like Johnny Blackburn’s mop, let me know.  I always wanted to have blond hair like that…………

Come join us ... the more the merrier!                     by bike or by any mode"

- Mannti

I've only been on my bike 5 or 6 times in the last 15 years ... so even non-bikers can give this a whirl :-)   Kellis and Mannti will keep it safe, slow, and enjoyable. - Toni

Join our nostalgic, pleasant 7-ish Mile Tour Route.  RIDE a bike, or DRIVE your car, caravaning through our old stompin' grounds.  Stops will include our 3 Elementary Schools, Jr School, High School, AH Pool, and other landmarks, as we meander through the neighborhoods of our youth.  This will be an easy-going bike trip, approx 7 miles.
Most modes of transportation welcome (within the law.)  bikes, cars, RVs, party bus, campers, pedicabs, rickshaws, scooters, vespa's, vintage cars, tandem bicycles, and more.  Does anyone have a convertable or an old VW bus!? or big van?  that'd be fun for our nostalgic spin around A.H.!
