Austin Moonlite Cruz 2007













The night was killer fun. I left Trudy's after sucking down a Margarita with Andy Dugas and Vytis. Rolled down to the pedestrian bridge. Picked up some more riders. I was rolling my old Rockhopper with a B.O.B. trailer loaded with Lone Star. I picked up a recycling bin at the Fire Station earlier. Trudy's was nice enough to load it with ice and we bought the beer. Met up with Tommy and a lot of other friend's at the bridge. Then we were cruisin' We lost Vytis early as he helped a kid who wrecked and waited with him until an ambulance picked him up. Took over sixth street. Most people are confused and don't really know why there are so many nuts riding bikes through the street at 2 am. Kept cruisin until the first grocery. The Moonlite Cruz is like a rolling party. People were dancing and chatting. An MC from http://rockthebike.com/ was spitting bike related rhymes through his pedal powered PA.
The night eventually ended at a parking garage by the Capitol Building. We all drink and had a great time. Then APD came and started trouble. A fellow biker crashed head first into a squad car, which didn't really even need to be there. The attitude the Austin Police showed towards a relatively tame group of party goers, was totally out of place and unnecessary. Everyone was peaceful. The police were militant and embarrassing to the tax payers who provide their salary. This ride is one of the many things that make A-town what it is. The police force again displayed how far our city still has to go to wipe away the awful relationship it has with our community. Austin storm troopers strike again.
