continuum of friday-DOUBLE DECKER JOUSTING

pictures don't do justice of how many people were actually there riding in the street.


k, this next part i had to save-so it could have a post all to itself.

honestly, this was one of the coolest most random things we've ever done.
So after the waffles (mmm) we found this flier for double decker jousting. had no idea what it meant. but we sure wanted to find out.
so what they do, is these guys weld their bikes together one on top of another and go joust under the freeway at this little "hidden" place.
All the flier said was to meet at the gallivan tower at 9:30.
so we got on our bikes and did just that.

there were so many people there waiting it was honestly so bizarre. finally, after waiting 20 mins out of the blue, a guy yells out, "FOLLOW THE BUNNY EARS". all of a sudden this guy on a double decker bike holding a huge long stick with a stuffed rabbit on the end starts riding in the middle of the street.
so everyone just got on their bikes and followed....and well....we did just that.
everyone rode about 3-4 miles till we got to a hidden place under this bridge/freeway sorta deal. there were so many people on the street taking over the road.

there was even one guy that was riding next to us and said out loud to himself, "we own this city". we were laughing at that one for quite a long time.

it was so freakin random, the whole time we were just looking at each other and laughing so hard at all that was going on. we couldn't believe what was actually happening. and that people actually did this. i really am smiling right now just thinking about it.


and then...................................................................they jousted.


sorry about the pictures, they are way crappy. it's hard to take pictures while riding a bike and laughing at the same time.

Once again, you always find great things to do. You need to fill me in on where you find out about all these great events...okay maybe minus the double-decker jousting. haha
