An experienced female rider in her 30s dressed as Minnie Mouse fell during a mountain bike ride near Lancaster, UK and broke her ankle Sunday, according to this article. The woman was taking part in The Bogtrotters mountain bike club’s “fancy dress ride” that included Dennis the Menace and Shrek. No word on whether Mickey was there or if he was involved in the crash at all 😉

This is the first I’ve heard of a “fancy dress ride” but it sounds like it might be more well known in the UK (judging by the quote from the spokesman for Langdale and Ambleside Mountain Rescue in the article). If anything this might make you think twice before putting on that bigfoot costume and hitting the trails on your mountain bike – getting costume fur stuck in your chain just might take you down!
