CYCLISTS TO TAKE HALLOWEEN-THEMED RIDE FROM BOSTON TO SALEM DURING RED BULL
WITCH HUNT

2nd Annual Costumed Ride Concludes at Secret Location Party in Salem

Red Bull is giving Boston-area cyclists the opportunity to celebrate
Halloween early by taking a spirited bike ride from Boston to Salem, Mass.,
as part of the second annual Red Bull Witch Hunt event on Oct. 28, 2009.

During the evening, tricked-out bikes will soar through the Boston streets,
serving as riders’ “broomsticks” as they trek to the home of the
infamous Salem Witch Trials of 1692. The ride will conclude with a private
costume party at a secret location in Salem.

The Halloween-themed ride will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Fourth Wall
Project Gas Station, located at 1301 Boylston St. in Boston. Once cyclists
arrive in Salem, they will be directed to the costume party’s secret
location.

To participate in the free Red Bull Witch Hunt event, cyclists must be 18
years of age or older, be dressed in a Halloween costume, and abide by
proper bicycle safety. Refreshments will be provided at stops along the
ride. Red Bull will take riders’ “broomsticks” back to the Fourth
Wall Project Gas Station, and all participants will be given bus
transportation back to the station to pick up their bikes at the end of the
night.

This event sounds awesome. You know you want to go race the crap out of this…

From the website

The Witches Cup is a criterium – a short fast bicycle race requiring a mix of good technical skills. In particular, riders must have the ability to corner rapidly and sharply — and ride safely with a large group on a short circuit and have exceptional fitness to attack other riders and repeatedly accelerate hard from corners..

Race Date: 13 August 2008
