This Saturday, Habitat for Humanity of Durham held their 2nd annual Bull Moon Bike Ride, a charity bike ride that started and ended at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. The ride is a 17-mile route through downtown Durham, with a smaller 8-mile optional route. Cary and I decided on the smaller route since this was our first time, but after we were finished, we realized that we probably could have completed the 17-mile route if we REALLY wanted to…but we decided not to push it.
It was a fun night. There were lots of volunteers along the route, including Durham Police who were stopping traffic and marking the route, and every mile or so, we were treated to music from local musicians, from solo guitar and saxophone players to a mini orchestra. The strange thing was that during the ride, random people dining outside local restaurants along the route would clap and cheer…I think many of them thought that we must be in a race; I can’t blame them…it definitely looked like a race, especially considering we all had our own number.
The ride is already over, but if anyone would like to make donations to Habitat for Humanity, you can do so via this link:
