We're record breaking bikers...

The following announcement had me intrigued and is part of the reason we purchased bikes:

We're Going for the World Record (and it won't cost you a dime)!
When: Thursday 05.17.12, 4p til you drop at Mo's Place Pub
Where:
South Lake Tahoe, CA
The Slow Rollers Bicycle Club proudly presents the second annual Spirit Parade. Everyone is invited to participate in this free cruising event from the "Y" in South Lake Tahoe, CA, to MontBleu Casino at Stateline, NV. Don't worry... two states, but only five (flat) miles.

When we say "everyone" we mean EVERYONE cuz we're going for the LARGEST BICYCLE PARADE WORLD RECORD currently held by the city of Davis, CA. Oh, it's on. You'll get a number. You'll be counted. And we all just want to count, right? Guinness, the World Record people not the beer, will certify our numbers and we'll make history... in a good way.  Post-check-out-wow-I-biked-(slow)-all-day-now-let's-party after party at Mo's. Other world records may be set at this time.  You'll be joined by firetrucks up front and the South Lake Tahoe Police chasing you from behind (c'mon, like you're not used to it).

To break Davis' record, there needed to be 917 riders, we had 1,250.  The camaraderie, cheering, costumes and organized chaos was extraordinary.  I hope the photos can do it justice!  What an incredible way to spend the afternoon.  Only in Tahoe!
