Rat Rides 2004


 


Updated 10/22/04


 






Chunkolini, of Rat Patrol UK, sent us some of the hallucinogenic cider that his friend makes in Ross-on-Wye. The bottle said "Drink within 5 days of purchase." It had taken 2 weeks to reach us. It tasted like rotten apples and brake fluid. This ride opened with us all guzzling some (except for the Scallywags, of course).





































Squeaky Clean, riding a Hammer with foosball poles for apehangers.



Bikefreeek on the Red Ass... the portable sound system can kick out the jams. Pull it up to any crowd and you've got an instant dance party.



Pigeon toss.
