Cyclocross Crusade Halloween Bash
Halloween Festival – Saturday October 29th
Flying M Ranch
Yamhill, Oregon
Dark.
So terribly dark. From such pitchy shadows seeps a sound as
would be the dry scrape of rusted razor across tender throats held
tightly under baleful glare of an ever mute Diana.
Fears blend with dream and soon enough comes the wicker-men
half-glimpsed out of the corner of the eye, and burning
jack-o-lanterns smiling mocking smiles
of
knowing what makes ones heartbeat skip and pulse race ...perhaps some
places are meant to exist only as a dreamtime labyrinth outside of
time and space...Clustered close together as much for companionship as
for protection our tribe of revelers stave off the worst as kegs are
tapped and boil forth in founts of amber goodness...a sweeter sight
has never formed as spirits of wood and field gather round the harvest
bonfire to lift voices into the night sky.
Spilled intentions and woodsmoke cloud the atmosphere.
Let the Rites of Autumn run loose under the forgiving embrace
of the night but beware for something
wicked
lurks in those woods...
Once
again it is arrived! "What?"
you ask you ask...why the Cyclocross Crusade Halloween Festival and series race #4 at the Flying M Ranch!
