Join us on the 2nd Saturday of the month for HollyWEIRD #171 - Febuary the 10th 2024. The HollyWEIRD "Lunar New Year/Chinese New Year" ride.
The Chinese New Year occurs on the second new moon after the winter solstice (Dec. 21) and this year it is on Feb. 10, 2024 which is our HollyWEIRD #171 ride.
It starts a new animal's zodiac year and this will be the Year of the Dragon. In China alone, the Spring Festival is the biggest human migration in the world as over 400 million people will empty the cities and return to their rural homes across the country. Red decorations are everywhere and it's usual to wear something red as this color is meant to ward off evil spirits.
Hope to see you there!

This has always been a very relaxing ride. It's great fun to see old friends and make some new ones.

At HollyWEIRD, All bikes are welcome, but we really like the freaky ones.
1st meet-up is at the Hollywood Library, right on Hollywood Blvd, just east of 1-95.
We will meet at 1:00 and ride out from the Library at 2:00.
Second stop is at Hollywood beach BLUE WALL then we make a stop at MargaritaVille's public restrooms. . then another stop at FOOD KING by Ocean's 13 for sandwiches, and refreshments. This is also a good time to take a dip in the ocean.
We then ride on to the photo op, the pier... and then we start heading back home.
Some riders park their cars at the Dania Pier parking lot and leave from there.
On the way back to the Library we usually stop for some garlic knots and pizza along the way. For those that want to stay on the beach, live music starts at 7:00 at Margaritaville...
