The holiday’s sure bring a lot of scenery when cycling the local neighborhoods. The inflatable characters are still ever present, but now “bigger is better” is becoming popular with skeletons over 12′ tall. The ghosts and goblins have taken over many yards in their entirety. Garage door decorations are being added to carry the ghostly theme throughout the front yards. Rumplestil Skin has set up a new home on a corner lot for all to see while a pair of wild shorts are adorned by a very tall skeleton overlooking a huge spider and its web to catch all the little visitors. Foolish mortals beware of hitchhiking ghosts are serenaded by ghosts playing pianos at another home. Meanwhile, the weather has provided a ghoulish background at times curtailing a few days rides. All told the past two weeks added 102 miles for a total of 5,866 miles of enjoyment.
