Yesterday was our 32nd Festivus Ride. Not really, but it was pretty awesome. We had folks meet us at Goodale Park where about 80 of us weaved the detours and construction of downtown Columbus and dammit, we looked good! Our bikes were dressed to impress. We had the tandem keg bike fit with our Festivus Pole guiding our way to our destination of Hal n Als where takers tested their ‘Feats of Strength.’ It was cold and brisk but the Huffy Toss was a sight to see. The fabulously, festive and decorated bicycles were lit up with lights, faux tinsel, santa heads and holly. The ugly sweaters were…. well, ugly as hell. And lastly, gals and guys tested their mind and upper arm strength when holding out filled pitchers of water. This test of strength was to see how long a person could hold the filled pitcher of water the longest and without bending their arms. There were some determined participants! The grievance board was filled by the end of the night, Frank Costanza stayed busy being photo’d and Jim Ganahl’s head was sadly dismembered from his body during the Huffy Toss Competition. I’d say, it was a Festivus Success! Enjoy the photos:
