HRCC Masters - Fourth Annual Halloween Ride - Riverside Cemetery
Details
Ordinarily, we do this ride the week of Halloween, but due to scheduling conflicts of several of our members, including me, we will do this ride this week. The ride is definitely a member favorite and one of the most interesting rides we do. Designated a National Historic District in 1994, Riverside Cemetery is Denver's oldest cemetery. Today the 280-acre cemetery is home to some 180,000 internments, including prominent Coloradans such as William N. Byers, Robert Speer, Dr. John Evans, Anne Evans, Justina Ford, Frederick Bonfils, and Ralph Carr. Before visiting Riverside, we will pay our respects to Alfred Packer, also known as the "Colorado Cannibal", in Littleton Cemetery. Finally, we will ride through the historic, tree-lined streets of Washington Park—particularly along South Gilpin Street and South Franklin Street near the park—are famous for upscale, theatrical Halloween displays.
More than a few members have worn costumes on this ride in previous years, so feel free to express yourself on this ride.
