Lights are compulsory, but a red uniform is optional on this ride into darkness with Cliff. The hot chips at the Parkerville Tavern will more than compensate for the drain on your headlight battery. There are plenty of other food options if the chips are not enough. Due to the high cost of brake [...] → Continue Reading Mount up! It’s Time for Dinner in Parkerville with Cliff (and he’s OK)
