MONSTER BIKE BASH resurrection 2026 - Calling all trail goons to pencil in the calendar for Oct. 24 - Details coming soon…
Trail goons reunite for this ghoulish ride back from the grave!
The Dirty Details:
Saturday, October 24, 2026
Flat Branch Park - Columbia MO
MKT Trail to the Katy Trail and then creeping on out to TBA
Cost to ride: Your eternal soul + we expect you to bring the party
The dead have risen to resurrect the most horrifically outrageous halloween party ride Missouri has ever seen! On October 24 the trail goons will ride again!
Those who wish to ride with the army of the dead are encouraged to meet up at Flat Branch Park in Columbia (please park in the city parking garages on Cherry St and Walnut Street as parking is free all weekend) and you won't get a repulsive parking ticket. Trail Goons are anticipated to ride the MKT to the Katy Trail (with some unexpected stops along the way).
The Monster Bike Bash is a Halloween inspired bicycle party on the Katy Trail! Bring out your alter ego and be sure to dress for the occasion. Trail side stops with fiendish fun. Costume contests and dance parties. Prepare for freaky bicycle fun!
The bike ride traverses the most social and scenic sections of the Katy Trail state park! This is about as much fun as you can have on a bike! Costumes are strongly encouraged (you better bring one). Be goofy, have fun! Ride at your own risk...if you dare!
We will set up the scene. You act it out. Bring the social party vibe.
