Cruiser Week!!! Tell your friends!

Hello friends and fellow cruisers!

Greetings from the tall guy (Aden)

The leaves are changing in Wash Park and the sun is back out and staying out through the weekend so I am looking forward to a beautiful Fall ride on Saturday (Oct 3rd)! We have had many riders take advantage of the online registration which ensures their T-Shirt size will be reserved for them! I encourage all of you to do the same by Thursday at 5pm when online registration will be closed. But don’t forget that walk-ups are always welcome on Saturday at the Pub on Pearl from Noon to 1 pm!

I am providing an extra incentive for those who register online. Each online registration will receive an EXTRA raffle ticket ($5 value) to win the NEW BELGIUM CRUISER BIKE that we are giving away!!!! (A couples ticket earns you 2 raffle tickets!) You can register online HERE!

Since this is our countdown week, I am asking ALL participants to help spread the word and invite as many people as possible to join us. It only takes a few minutes to help and you can do it right there from your computer! I have provided several ways to do this, and here is the list:

FACEBOOK: If you are on facebook, go to this link. Under the map on the right hand side, click “Invite People to Come” and select all of your Denver friends to come out and join us! (Make sure to add a personal message too!)
VIDEO: I created a really fun video for the ride that you can post to facebook or simply send the link. Video on Youtube. Scroll down to watch on this site.

EMAIL INVITE: Simply send a personal invite to your friends via email with this attachment!

CR4 = Biggest yet!

Aden Holt — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 05:00:54 +0000

Cruiser Rocks Four was our largest ride to date. The event just keeps getting bigger and bigger as word spreads about how much fun our (twice a year) ride is. With over 130 participants, we raised thousands of dollars for the Love Hope Strength Foundation on July 11th, 2009. CR4 also included a very competitive Connect Four tournament which concluded at our afterparty.

Special thanks to Jeremy Henn at Coors, Sharlene Douthit at Simply Good Photography, Kendall Smith and Lindsey Hammond (for administering the Connect 4 Tournament), Craig and the gang at Pub on Pearl (for hosting our kickoff and afterparty), Hanson’s, Stadium Inn, Reivers, Ogden St. South and the Handlebar (for hosting out hourly visits throughout the ride).

Good times and new friends were made on this awesome ride… I hope to see all of you in the fall for Cruiser Rocks 5, 2009.

Below are some highlights from the ride. You can see all 300 pics here.
