(I know it seems early, but seeing as I'm receiving holiday party evites like crazy this week - tis the season)

Put some antlers on your helmet, tie some jingle bells to your two-wheeled friend, and join fellow holiday merrymakers at the 15th annual Ciclismo Classico Jingle Ride.

On Sunday, December 11th, a grand parade of cyclists, many in holiday costumes, will meet in Arlington for a leisurely bike excursion to Boston and back. This 22 mile ride rolls through Harvard Square, the Esplanade, Boston Common, and Newbury Street. The group makes occasional stops to sing carols for passersby, and enjoys bringing some unexpected holiday cheer to all who witness the group.

The ride concludes with a party in Ciclismo Classico CEO Lauren Hefferon’s Arlington home – complete with food, hot drinks, and a roaring fire.

NEW for 2011 – ride includes “picnic” lunch in Boston, and we are encouraging more people to ride as a team or group. There will be new prizes for best-dressed team (of 4 or more riders), and biggest team. We’ve also streamlined the riding route.

Just FYI, you've been adding a new comment, rather than replying to other people's comments. Which means they don't necessarily know you're talking to them. :-) (And they don't get a notification that you've responded.)

Hope you're feeling better, too! :-)
