We will supply some candy to toss for the kids, but feel free to bring a bag of your own. (Individually wrapped pieces, please) Please throw candy beyond the curb.  We don't want to encourage kids to run into the street.

Interested cyclists (of intermediate level and above) should meet (with your bike), at Wolfe Park, in the parking lot by the tennis courts. The group will cycle 15-20 miles (exact distance TBD). Should you want to cut it short, you can turn around on the path and head back home at any time. Everyone will meet up afterwards at The Old Bag of Nails (on Nelson Rd near corner of Nelson and Broad) to catch up and share a beer. All classmates are welcome to join us for this optional gathering at the Old Bag of Nails beginning at 6:00 p.m. Feel free to stop by anytime during the evening.  (If you're cycling, be sure to bring your helmet, water bottle, protein bars or snack, and $ for Old Bag of Nails.
