Ride the Lights in Blackpool 26/08/2010

Last night I went along to a rehearsal of the Blaze Group’s entry for Blackpool’s Ride the Lights event.

They have designed innovative computer generated light displays for the wheels of some of Blackpool’s new hire bikes. They also have a boom box bike playing themed music, which leads the procession. We coreographed some moves using the hire bikes and they looked amazing lit up against the dusk skies.

The actual event takes place next Tuesday, 31st August when over 10,000 riders will gather for a preview of the illuminations on closed roads.

All the Bike Club officers will be there and we will be joined by young people from Bike Clubs including the Windmill Group, the Boathouse Project and 45th Blackpool Scouts.

It promises to be a fantastic evening so if you fancy joining in the fun come down to St Chad’s (opposite McDonalds) by South Pier at 7 pm and ride along with us. You’ll be very welcome.
