Like bikes? Like staying up late? Some friends and I are doing the Moonlight Ramble on Sunday, October 29th, at 2 am. Some people wear costumes. Some mount radios to their bikes. Some pull kids (or pets) in bike carriers. BikeHouston puts the event together and has the streets closed off for the cyclists. The approximate route, from what I remember, takes the riders from The George R. Brown to Midtown, past The Summit (or whatever it’s called these days), up Westpark, through the Galleria area, down Allen Parkway, and back to the GRB. There is an eight mile route and a 20-miler. The 20 miles goes by quickly though and I think anyone can do it. It’s not a race – it’s just a ride. The idea is to get out in the cool October air and pedal.

Last year I wore my usual bike get-up but this year I think I’m going to have get a little more creative.

If you’re interested, register before October 15th and pay the $20. It goes up to $25 after the 15th.
