Saturday happened to be the Boise tour de fat. This event by new Belgium brewery is a bicycle costume parade followed by beer and music and carnival type acts. Lucy and I fortuitously found matching cheerless costumes for $4 a pop at a uniform shop going out of business...
Super decorations for helmet and bikes found by Lucy at michaels.
Jason was the coolest nerd in town with two cheerleaders! Revenge of the nerds!
True love is sharing a camel back.
Ready to go!
There were 11000 people at the parade, the largest in the country....
Still ready! There were some delays as the police couldn't seem to get roads closed.
Proof we belonged.
Some aliens to get the crowd fired up.
Pretty bike!
Finally time to go! Confetti and we are off!
After the race we started in on the brews!
And cute carnival style decor and educational exhibits.
Some of the entertainers.
Long line for carnie blood but we got it!
Aliens are back.
We spent some time in the shade where Lucy showed off her art skills with an OR marker :)
Apparently they actually know this guy....
One of the last acts. I found it highly entertaining. I was also pretty intoxicated....
Final dance party with the last live music act. Cheers!
