Atlanta Moon Ride

Atlanta Moon Ride returns for its second year of after-dark antics! Bicycle enthusiasts and bike-curious Atlantans of all skill levels and ages are invited to hit the streets for a safe, fun, 6.5-mile ride through the coolest neighborhoods in the city.  Participants are encouraged to ride with flair -- dressing in costume, gearing up bikes with headlamps, glow sticks, bullhorns, unicorn horns -- anything goes!

More than 800 people joined last year for the inaugural ride, and this year's event promises even more fun with a special Friday the 13th date and a full moon expected that night! 

All of the proceeds from Atlanta Moon Ride will support the work of local charity Bert's Big Adventure, a nonprofit organization that provides a magical, all-expenses-paid, five-day journey to Walt Disney World for children with chronic and terminal illnesses and their families.

The nighttime cruise will start and end at Park Tavern, taking you safely on a scenic and traffic-free route through Midtown, Little Five Points, the Highlands and more.  The party continues post-ride at Park Tavern with a DJ, specialty brews and awesome food served up late into the night. 

Grab your bike and your friends and register online today at www.atlantamoonride.com.  The fee is $25 per rider and includes an Atlanta Moon Ride t-shirt (if you register before June 1st), entry to the kick-off party starting at 7 p.m., your first beer, and entry back into the after-party.  Prices are subject to change and may increase closer to the event date.
