This past weekend’s Spider Octoberfest was one to remember, The weather was perfect for riding, and the dirt was feeling nice! Lots of smiling faces came out, some without costumes, but definitely some with costumes. This year’s Costume Party winner was a Freddie Mercury look-a-like! He gathered everyone around for a grand show and got the whole park to sing along with him, “I want to ride my bicycle!” will be stuck in our heads for weeks to come!
This week’s Poker Laps winner won with a flush! Some came very very close… but at the end of the day, it’s whoever lady fortune decides to ride down with!
The best moment of Spider Octoberfest by far has to be the Annular Eclipse that passed through Spider Mountain! It was awesome seeing everyone’s friends and families come out to gather with us at the top of the summit to watch this breathtaking moment! Watching the shadows change, seeing everything get darker, and of course, seeing that Ring-Of-Fire was a moment none of us here could ever forget! After the Eclipse we had a 25-person train ride down the mountain together, lots of great times, lots of high-fives!
