Ah, the smells of burning cedar and hickory permeate the almost-chilly air: it's Autumn! And with Autumn comes...Halloween!
Just because the weather is turning cool is no reason for you to start winterizing that bike of yours, Uh-uh! Not when there are scary places to visit, or rides to be had.
Following are a few ideas and places to consider as you look for your next ride and destinations.
October: Halloween, Charity rides, and Festivals
- Texas Scaregrounds in Kenndale, Tx Located just south of I-20 off of 287, it's a great place to visit with your rider group and your favorite 2-up passenger. Directions
- Thrillvania/Verdun Manor in Terrel, TX Open weekends beginning Friday September 25, get here early, enjoy all the scary attractions. NOTE: Do bring cash - they had only 1 ATM on site last year with about a 45 minute to an hour wait to get cash. Directions
- Ride for Kids, Grapevine, Tx - October 4, 2009 You join hundreds of other motorcyclists for this scenic ride through the Texas countryside, you'll have a great time while raising funds for the PBTF's medical research and family support programs!

Of course, there are going to be plenty of haunted houses to visit, too. Among them my personal favorites are:
Screams, in Waxahachie, Tx Posing as Scarborough Fair during the start of Summer, Screams provides you with 5 haunted houses, great outdoor shows and tasty food and drink, all with a great atmosphere. Directions
The Parker House in Lewisville, Tx Another fun attraction for the seekers of fright. Visit them weekends begining Septembe 26, then almost the entire week leading up to October 31. Directions
