Happy Halloween!

[mary9761]

May you have more treats than tricks! If all goes right, I hope to be going on a costumed ride tonight with my LBS.. I'll take photos.:D

[Bad JuJu]

Oooh, have fun, Mary!

I've been riding with my spider wired onto my helmet for about 2 weeks now, and I'd hoped to be able to take her for one more ride today, but it doesn't look as if I'll have the time. So I can't wait to see your photos--I'll have to do my Halloween ride vicariously through you.:D

[Bikingmomof3]

Have a wonderful time Mary! Remember we need photos. :)

Happy Halloween!

At this point, I'm keeping my fingers crossed my DIL can get home in time to take ME home so I can get my bike. I have all of my costume with me and the bike is dressed and waiting for me, but if she doesn't get home in time, I won't make it to the party/ride in time.. There really are times it's a pain in the :mad: :mad: :mad: NOT to drive or have a car because if I wait for the bus depending when she gets home I could be HOURS late...
I've got the bike all dressed up even beyond what I had on it for the Hilly Hundred. I have a witch on the front named Brunhilde, Edgar the raven is perched on the rack in back. I added bright yellow moon sillhouettes with a witch on one side and cat on the other to the rack last night so I should be able to be seen. I'm going to wearing a bit different costume than I did for the Hilly and hope to have some makeup as well. That is at least if all doesn't fall through. She may not want to take me home since she still has to get the grands ready to trick or treat.. I brought their treats with me today in case I wasn't home (never know when they're going to stop or not :( )

Yippee! I love Halloween... it's a chance to be silly and dress funny, and NOT get strange looks for it!

I'm wearing cat ears and a bright orange jack-o-lantern shirt. I had to take them off earlier - I had an appointment with a couple who are refugees from Sudan, and they are confused enough as it is! We had an interesting conversation - they don't understand a lot of our customs and holidays... and I had a hard time explaining this one.

Um, well, we dress up like other people and other things... some people try to be scary and look like ghosts... and then we have our kids go door-to-door and beg for candy... :eek: Huh. I'm not sure I understand it myself! I was tempted to go into some of the historical aspects, in order to explain where the traditions come from, but with the limited comprehension of English it just would have made it worse.

Happy Halloween everyone!!! Have fun and be safe!!! ;)

[mary9761]

Well, I just found out that the costume ride has been cancelled.. :( Scheduling problems and potential weather problems. I guess when I get home I'll go ahead and get dressed to pass out treats like I usually do, but perhaps, I'll take a ride around the neighborhood for a short time since the bike is already dressed for the occasion.. .:p

here is me and my dh at our costume gig over the weekend. We had so much fun! But my husband was a little to real! Tonight we do a haunted house at our house. We do this every year with our friends. We have all stuff, smoke lights sound. And we have a theme every year too. We go through so much candy! We will be kinda mellow this year cause it is on a Tuesday but it is always packed!

[chickwhorips]

happy halloween to all!

brandi i love the picture!!!

[bikerchick68]

Happy Halloween all! Love the pics and Mary can't wait to see yours too...:) I'm going to my best friends place... we'll pass out candy to the little monsters and down a bottle (or two) of wine...:D

[Bluetree]

Well, I just found out that the costume ride has been cancelled.. :(

I feel your pain! My scheduled Halloween Party got canceled, too. The host's wife went into labor three weeks early... what was she thinking?! ;)

Happy Halloween from Cocoa:

[mary9761]

I always normally dress up as the neighbourhood witch and pass out treats. I'm often sitting out front with a candlelabra (sp?) since we don't have a front porch light. I have made most of my costumes same as my cycling clothes. I was kinda looking forward to riding downtown in Indy in costume tonight though. :( I may just have to take a quick ride around the neighbourhood to terrorize the tots before sitting out with the cheetos and teddy grahams.

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Brandi,
Is your husband wearing a costume?




(.....JUST KIDDING!!!!)

[Tuckervill]

Ten points if you can identify who he's impersonating. 20 points if you're over 40!

[Offthegrid]

Why, it's Billy Joe Armstrong from "Green Day."

I think the red eye adds to the costume.

[Tuckervill]

Ha, I forgot the poster was in the background.

Here's a sad thing...I used mascara on his existing peach fuzz to make his beard and he's only TWELVE!!

He hit his nose on the bottom of the hotel pool last week, so that explains the unibrow.

Here's a photo of my DH and I taken by one of the neighbours. I took a VERY short spin up and down the street as by the time I got home from baby sitting the few trick or treaters we had were coming to the door.

Wow Tuckerville, he looks a LOT like Billy Joe

[Bad JuJu]

Mary, you and your bike rock! I wish you lived in my neighborhood!

[texascyclist]

You completely rock! :D

My son wore the same dragon/dinosaur costume! Ok, no surprise since it came from Target, but, still. :)

[7rider]

Great pictures, everyone!
Very creative.

Halloween was a bust at our house. We had only 2 kids show up! :(
DH takes that as a personal insult ("What, don't they like me?")

Some brainiac actually put it out on the news on the lead up to Halloween ...
"If you are a sexual predator, please don't turn on your porch light or hand out candy to the kids."
Oh, GEEEEZ, hon! Now we CAN'T turn out the light! What will the neighbors think!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Mary,
You, DH, and your bike look fantastic! Great photos and I imagine even better memories. :)

[bikerchick68]

OMG... first off... that boy is 12 yrs old? man, good costume... I thought he was probably 19 or so prior to reading! :eek: :D

Mary... your costume and your bike are just too, too cool! SOOO glad you posted pics... I'm slammed today at work, but using a break to check in JUST so I could see you! :D

[annie]

Brandi,

I love it that in your picture, you are standing up on a step, and still just the same height as your DH! I can SO relate. Great costumes, by the way. You, also, Mary.
