THE MONSTER BASH RETURNS…

Saturday, October 28, 2023
Flat Branch Park - Columbia MO
MKT Trail to the Katy Trail and then creeping on out to Cooper’s Landing!
Starts 9 am - MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW!

Trail goons reunite for this ghoulish ride back from the grave! 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. We dare you to host a trailside party and get weird! 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!

Bike Mileage: 16 miles on the MKT and Katy Trail to Cooper’s Landing. 32 miles total if you make it back alive…Consider a sag if you can’t muster the mileage. ‘

Parking = There is plenty of free parking available near the start. Your best bets are the garages on Eighth & Walnut, Sixth and Cherry, or Tenth and Cherry.
 

Shuttle ride back from Coopers = If you reserved a shuttle ride back from Cooper's it will head back after the costume contest (around 3:30 pm) we will have all the reserved names on a list! If you still need a ride back from Cooper’s after the party we will get you on the 2nd round back to Columbia that afternoon!
