I had never been through Golden Hill. It reminded me of James Street in Syracuse, with dated old mansions, multi-unit nice buildings, with run-down older homes. I walked by the Turf Supper Club – funny, this place was a discussion item Friday night with the counseling group.
Tour De Fat certainly took on a festive, carnival atmosphere.
A bike parade occurred earlier in the day, with spectators becoming participants. Crazy Costumes were everywhere.
There was the obligatory beer garden area being that the event is sponsored by New Belgium Beer. But outside the beer garden was a bike rodeo area. This fenced-in area had crazy and outlandish bikes for anyone with a helmet to try.
See the rest of the pics here. Crashes abound.
Back in the beer garden, I tried the IPA until I dropped it. Hate when that happens. Now all they had was their Amber Red. This one I intentionally dropped (really I poured it out).
One of the entertaining games as a life-size Jenga game. Everyone heard it when it crashed.
