Moon Valley Annual Christmas Lights Bicycle Ride & Dinner

Schedule

Fri Dec 19 2025 at 05:00 pm to 10:00 pm

UTC-07:00

Location

Vegan and Vine | Phoenix, AZ

Moon Valley has a Christmas Light Decoration Contest that would make Clark Griswold green with envy.
They also have a nice series of bike friendly streets. We’ll take a leisurely ride through the neighborhood ooohhhhing and ahhhhing at the variety of displays covering about 10 miles on mostly flat streets and cul-de-sac’s. This is a very social ride so the pace will be slow and the conversation high. Feel free to decorate your bike and yourself.
We’ll start with dinner at Vegan & Vine. If you prefer to only come on the ride, plan to be at our starting point behind the restaurant in front of Safeway by 6:30. Let us know if you will join us for dinner or you are just riding. The ride will end at the starting point (well isn't that convenient!).

Dinner: 5:00 p.m. at Vegan & Vine: https://veganandvineco.com/menu/
Kick Stands Up at 6:30 p.m. in the Parking Lot behind the restaurant

After the Ride, if you are still up for Christmas frivolities, we'll go to my house and hang out with some beverage and any snack you care to bring. I'll grill hotdogs on the BBQ. Please bring your beverage of choice. I live 5 minutes from Vegan & Vine. I'll send out the address a few days before the ride, but you will also see me on the ride.

SAFETY FIRST!! HELMETS are REQUIRED because your brain is the only thing getting you home and you can't stay at my house. Also, front and rear LIGHTS are REQUIRED unless your bike is decorated by Jeannette. Bring plenty of water and I suggest dressing warm. It will get cool at night on a bicycle, but no fear, we'll warm you up after the ride. (Ken, bring the flame thrower).

As if this really needs to be said......but(http://said......but) Joe told me to say it. You are responsible for you. Ride your own ride. We will regularly stop and allow stragglers to catch up so there is no need to ride with abandon, like Bob. DON'T BE LIKE BOB!!! Hanging off helicopters and shit, running up hills and doing stuff your Mom told you not to do. Be at one with your good old self. OK, done....questions? Post a comment, but come, this is always fun!
