Tour de Fat ...raising money for the Land Trust

Taking over the roundabout...It's a little too fun stopping trafficMy Enduro Pro may have suffered a bit of an identity crisis for this event. Covered in faux fur (having Burning Man withdrawal), she was sitting pretty for the parade. Of course, like most Tahoe events...the grog was flowing, but New Belgium Brewing Company is worth supporting. They are employee owned, spend the summer touring the country with a vaudeville show raising money for local orgs.... and they brew the beer entirely on wind power.This dude bumped tunes like "Stayin Alive" and "I Want to Ride my Bicycle" during the parade. Liz and Kyle in the backdrop. We stayed close by to this 70's show and got our groove on. So next time, you see a Fat Tire, Blue Paddle, 1554...Skinny Dip...support the renewable energy generating brew h'a ha. This event felt surreal...it was a fantasy come true.....Bikes taking over the streets... I got a little excited and was yelling "Bikes not Bombs" to the spectators on the sidelines....couldn't help myself. A more subdued comment may have been "Share the Road". Oh well, the event was too cool for holding thy tongue.
