Terry Schrunk Plaza
(SW 3rd & Madison)
Join us for a costume-encouraged 2.5 mile bike ride to explore our spookiest parking garages and lots! They are haunted by the ghosts of housing and small businesses demolished to create these skeletal structures!
We will go up steep grades and travel a few downtown streets lacking protected bike lanes--for safety, we recommend those attending this ride be proficient in urban biking!
All are invited to keep the party going at Fortune afterwards for food and drinks.
