Temps are dropping and the leaves will be changing. You know what that means! It’s time for FALL CRUISER ROCKS!

The date for Cruiser Rocks 9 has been set for October 1st, 2011. On that day, we will be pedaling through Wash Park and surrounding watering holes, raising money for the Love Hope Strength Foundation. We start by meeting at the Pub on Pearl (1101 S. Pearl St. at Mississippi) at Noon. While there, each rider will get their t-shirt and wristband. Once everyone is registered, the pedaling begins! Just follow the 7 foot guy with all the balloons tied to his bike and he will lead you through the neighborhood streets of Wash Park, bouncing from bar to bar where riders get drink specials all day long. The grand finale is our afterparty held at our starting point. We will be giving away SEVERAL cruiser bikes along the way to lucky raffle ticket holders!
