The Great Pumpkin Ride is back in 2021. It’s scheduled for Saturday, October 23rd.

Registration is available through the interwebs, although it looks like the e-mail announcing the ride is outpacing the updating of the website: http://fauquiertrailscoalition.org

So now the tough question is: What should the group costume be this year? We’ve done gnomes, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Super Mario Bros and Sesame Street.

Some costume ideas:
Bees
Minions
X-Men
Ghostbusters
Harry Potter
Treasure Trolls
Covid-19

Yes! I’m in…

Adding some other ideas although I do like Bees and maybe treasure trolls…

How about:
Dr Seuss characters
Sponge Bob Square Pants
Clowns
Food (I have a hotdog costume!!)

Have you done superheroes?

For those who want an idea of the fun, here’s my video of the 2019 ride: https://youtu.be/ucfJVOP5bio

Best ride ever- I just registered. Although you know I’m partial to bees, I also really like the food theme. Yum!

Can’t miss ride of the year!
And no doubt, the DC-area costumed group shall win the ride again, as we do every year.

Registered.

I registered. Might be a fun ride on the e-bike this year. Will definitely take the sting out of the hills.

If we do bees, then of course Sarah [emoji219] will need to be the queen and the rest of us worker bees or drones.

But I do sort of like the idea of everyone going as their favorite Covid virus. Or perhaps we do something Zoom-themed: business on the top, boxers and fuzzy slippers on the bottom.

I’m officially signed up. Current list of ideas is below. I had made the addition of everyone dressing up as Mr. Happy, to disprove that there is only 1 Mr. Happy.

Bees
Minions
X-Men
Ghostbusters
Harry Potter
Treasure Trolls
Covid-19
Superheroes
Dr Seuss characters
Sponge Bob Square Pants
Clowns
Food
Workers at Home
Mr. Happy

If we do X-Men I’d be tempted to go as this guy.

Probably who your parents named you after. I put X-Men on the list so I could bike with some adamantium claws on.

Mr. Happy

There is only one me.

Another thought- we could all go Hello Kitty themed. Fun and good remembrance for a valued friend.

I love this! Are we all going as Hello Kitty, or are we doing Hello Kitty and friends? If it’s the latter, I’m claiming dibs on Keroppi, so that I can use my green turtle/frog costume for the fourth year running.

It sounds like we have converged on Hello Kitty. I’m not sure how well recognizable the other characters are. I was not aware that there were any until 4 minutes ago.it appears that Hello Kitty usually wears pink but has also been depicted in blue, red and green. There’s a Green Apple Hello Kitty beanie baby even.

I like the idea of expanding the universe to include Hello Kitty’s friends. With that, I will claim a version of Tuxedo Sam.
