WELCOME TO A BRAND NEW YEAR OF TACO TUESDAYS
WE RIDE ON TUESDAYS (PLEASE CHECK POSTINGS FOR THE TIME AND MEETING PLACE)
WE ARE ALL ABOUT HAVING FUN ADVENTURES RIDING OUR BICYCLES TO DIFFERENT PARTS OF LOS ANGELES AND BEYOND.
PLEASE READ ALL THE MIDNIGHT RIDAZZ "RULEZZ OF THE RIDE" PLEASE BE SURE THAT YOUR BICYCLE IS IN GOOD WORKING ORDER, HAVE EXTRA TUBES IN CASE OF A FLAT TIRE, AND HAS BOTH FRONT AND REAR LIGHTS (SOMETIMES THE PLACES WE RIDE CAN BE QUITE DARK AND ALSO IT'S THE LAW, SO LET'S AVOID THOSE TICKETS)
TACO TUESDAYS GUIDELINES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
NO STEALING FROM FELLOW RIDAZZ OR STORES
NO TAGGING OR GRAFFITI
NO LITTERING
IF YOU FEELING LIKE DOING ANY OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED ACTIVITIES, PLEASE DON'T SHOW UP AND EXPECT TO RIDE WITH US, YOU WILL NOT BE WELCOME.
TACO TUESDAYS RIDE ARE USUALLY BETWEEN 20 AND 30 MILES PER NIGHT AND END AROUND 1 OR 2AM AT A LOCAL TACO SHOP OR TRUCK NEAR THE START.
IF ALL THAT SOUND FUN, THEN PLEASE JOIN US FOR TWO WHEELED ADVENTURES THAT YOU WILL REMEMBER FOR YEARS TO COME.
prepare yourself for a journey through the universe, by way of space.
Galaxy Nebula, and upstart crew gonna make a rendezvous under the full blue moon tonight. Maximum speed will be achieved without the need for reed instruments. the only instruments we need are our quadracepticals, throw the rest in a trash recepticle. Wear pants, wear shoes, smoke dope, drink booze. Dozens of single minded organisms, organizing themselves into a body traveling through the arteries and veins of los angeles. heartbeating not to the rythm of the mobile-music-station, but to the cadence of the pedals left right. tomorrow we will explode in a supernova coming from the soul of our collective consciousness, but right now is about tonight. tires planted firmly on the ground, but somehow taking flight. Galaxy Nebula has come to expand and explore your universe, but you must let us in. open up your chest and crotch and ask us to begin. Captains and co-captains and co-co-captains, I suggest you begin final preparations for our descent into the atmosphere of Saturn. You must navigate the rocks and dust swirling down below, but trust me when I tell you they mean us no harm. It is your mind that you must worry about, lest it reject your experiences.
This was not made for people. The people are taking it back.
First chance I had to make it to another taco Tuesday in awhile...
FUCKING EPIC! YET AGAIN!
Fireball soccer, beer, vodka, and other unmentionables made this a night to remember. Its funny I got home and hadn't ate, so I went to jack in the box.....for 99 cent tacos!!!!! True to my tuesdays!
Oowoo ridazzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!
Mucho amor and respect to the padrinos xl & cesar! Pura vida and rocking the cumbias on the westside dance floors for 1 full sabroso year! Coooooooooommmmmmmm biiiiiiiii ahhhhhhhhh............
HAHA Mike, I thought you would know I WAS JOKING. Since so many of your jokes are in poor taste, I thought you would get that it was a joke. Congrats on the one-of-akind degree!
It wasn't for no reason. It was because I thought it was funny. And not in a way to be mean to you either. If you can dish it, you oughta learn to take it toooooooo. : p
and to answer your question, people that have done un-cool things like tag, steal or be violent have been asked not to come back. It's not an exclusive thing, like "we don't like your face."
Speaking for myself, I think Taco Tuesday should ride to the valley to tell TNS what it is... But then again, we'd have to actually go to the valley, where the rich white people are twice as stuck up and racist, the traffic is more aggressive and instead of a beach there is only a landfill.
On the other hand, Pacoima has the best tacos in LA. I must give props for that.
I've never ridden on a midnight ridazz ride before but I'm thinking about making tomorrow's TT my first... good idea? Also, out of curiousity, where does this coming tuesday's ride end?
"I think Taco Tuesday should ride to the valley to tell TNS what it is"
and what exactly is it that you want to tell us? u want to have a dance off or something?
but u dont wanna come over the hill bc u dont want to deal with "stuck up white people."
the majority of TNS are made up of minorities. you want to see some yellow dudes hanging out with brown folks, then come on this ride. and since when was it okay for someone to call any group of people stuck up? i think it's you that is racist.
"instead of a beach there is only a landfill"?
our closest beach is malibu and i think malibu is a little bit cleaner than SMA and Venice.
our ride has been drama free since the beginning and there's a reason for that.
maybe you guys should come over here and ride with us so u can learn how to keep ur shit drama free as well.
ill buy you a beer for taking the time to ride over the hill.

xl, you have a beer for me? i have one for you.
you really want to TNS? when i once spoke to you about it, you did not seem that interested. GOOD to hear!!!
KIMS1; this 8/4 ride might need to flat. shall we make it an event and BBQ bear dix?
I think TT will take the train to Noho Station and then ride back (we should get there around 10pm or so). I think the redline stops around midnight on Tuesdays and I want to kick it at the dam for awhile. Thinking about taking the Cahuenga Pass back, yeah? Only ridden it once or twice, is it a cool ride to Hollywood/Westside? Any better routes over the hill?
PS - Just want to make sure that they aren't filming that day at the Dam.

Cahuenga back is a good way to go from Hansen Dam, unless you're all up for a longer, steeper climb or a bunch of extra miles. It's best done in a large group.
I don't think Hansen sees as much traffic as Sepulveda in terms of filming, it shouldn't be a problem. Also, Hansen is open to the public.
This could be epic.

07.20.09 - 6:42 pm
HOLY SMOKES! TT in the 818?!?!?! XL, the LAST train from NoHo back toward DTLA is at 12:54. Cahuenga is sketch, especially going into Hollywood. Wolfpack's done it, and so have a number of us, but I would hate to lead a ride over Cahuenga and have a straggler in the back trying to negotiate the fast oncoming cars merging from the right. Also, holes and bullshit like that. The river path is A -OK to get back to LA, it's just kinda longish cuz it'll take you east first. But like I said up there, last train outta NoHo is at 12:54 - Trust, this is my 'hood!
Think it's gonna be at least 35 miles + for TT,
CM Park to DTLA
Noho Station to Hansen Dam (got a good route?)
Hansen Dam to Hollywood
Hollywood to CM Park
Should be an epic ride! I love Summer!
X-Large responding to a comment by Adrian_The_BEAST
07.20.09 - 6:59 pm
Probably catch the train at Pershing Square. It's a little less elevation than going up to Hollywood first. Already making everyone ride more miles for this epic ride, want to save them a little elevation on the first leg if I can. Good thought?
X-Large responding to a comment by kryxtanicole
07.20.09 - 7:09 pm
griffith park or river path for the way back or the way there?
I think you could catch the last train since it would give TT a little more than 2 hours - it doesn't take long to ride to Hansen Dam and the way back is faster since it's all downhill. If you are mindful of when you leave then damn you would be plenty fine to catch that train.
I <3 TT!! I've been missing it on account of trying to be a good worker bee on Wed. a.m. I would love it if we rode over to the 818! Cuz 818 has mad love for Tacos too!
needle park? I think you are thinking of somewhere different. I've been going there for half my life. My parents almost got married there, but picked a cozier park - no, it's not a needle park. you might roll thru horse poo on the road that the entrance is on though.
sounds like fun! technically though, 8/4 is sfvcm not tns. no objections from me, but just gotta let everyone know the plan in advance (not everyone on tns checks this forum).
I can only imagine it's a place where dirty drug needles can be found. I am making am assumption, but either way - hansen dam doesn't have a crime issue or anything like that really.
It was late at night on a saturday and people were smoking crack and one guy was tying off. This was like 2 years ago and I havent been there since. Who knows, maybe there was a rainbow gathering that night. It was totally bizarre to see such a remote park so completely full of bums.
YAY my leghs stil may be in recovery mode from my epic century on Saturday.. but im still comin out... andddd in a week or two ill have a new bike.. no more murray!
Nope, weez beez chillin 2 nite, weez going down the Rabbit Hole.
We are saving a few miles for the Last Mosey tomorrow night, did you know it is going to be the "End" of the world?

So, I went on last night's ride, bringing along an old friend who was going on his first mass ride. And he totally bailed, like, no more than 10 minutes in. Fucking lame ass.
But it gave me a reason to meet a lot of great people on this ride, and I tried really hard to remember people's names. So, to Blake, Dre, Jared with the Grateful Dead shirt, Little Lord Fauntleroy (or whatever Dre was calling the redheaded youngin'), Alex, Mike, Andreas, Michael and Geoffrey (sorry if I fucked up anyone's name-spelling), thanks for a great ride! Though I was flying solo tonight, next time you see me I'll prolly be on a purple glowing tandem with my teammate KT, so give a shoutout to your boy Ryan.
Oh, and though I wish I'd known a bike with knobby tires would have been beneficial for the dirt portion, what a great route! Thanks, guys!
Sorry about any con-fus-ion, though people would see the postponed heading. Next week will be DTLA, didn't want to have everyone ride Westside to DTLA two days in a row.
So, see ya'll at the "END" tonight.
PS - Stillline has yo spoke card!

I sing your praise,
Oh, Taco Tuesdays
You make my week
In many ways
Long nights at the minipier
Smoking out and drinking beer
Cesar XL and all the rest
Make this ride the very best
A little dose of weekend
In the middle of my week
Chilling on the jetty
In the Pacific I take a leak.
Louis corking intersections
Pablo plays a tape of his last jam session
Spectators are entranced
And the Tacos begin to dance
Riding out from moustache bridge
The seaspray in my lungs
Bondlink yells yea-yea-yea-yeah!
"No more!" is on everyone's tongues
But that's how we roll on Taco Tuesdays.
If you dont like it, you can go away.
TT's about friendship and all that is good,
But be warned, new people: we rarely get food.
You already know TT doesn't f*ck around ma boiiiiiiii.
XL, how about taking more pics on the ride? I always look forward to the gallery, but I tend to come across 2-3 new pics per ride. Other rides have 10-15 new pics, and it kills me because we do the most, and its nothing short of a kodak moment every pedal of the way!!!! Just a thought! TT, que vivan los tacos!!!! OoWoO RiDAZz!!!

i love this picture of a couple posing with some guy swinging off the flagpole in the background. i guess we're always just too busy having fun for cameras!
holy crap... sick ride. that sucked when everybody got split up with flats though on glenoaks at the bottom of the dam hill.my group didn't know where it was going exactly and we ended up taking glenoaks all the way into freakin glendale before me found magnolia and got back to cahuenga.. talk about going miles out of our way. still awesome
Sick-ass-friggin'-ride. Going over the pass was fun - so we had, like, 3 distinct groups at least? Ours took glenoaks until it turned due east, then south onto san fernando all the way around the east side of griffith park. Not bad, only the one trifling hill on los feliz but i was pretty delirious at that point. I don't remember how i got up it...following some chocolate bunnies and suddenly I was at the top.

I can't believe I made it home. Last night, when I fell back on my bed when arriving, I have never before appreciated having such a comfortable bed in my life!
Route was crazy, but after the dam, my buddy and I sped up too much and ended up following the wrong group. We turned around and found 3 others that were looking for westsidazz. We were lost for a good hour until we miraculously found the group again. It was seriously a feeling equivalent to being saved by the army in a crazy crisis. Haha! But damn, that hill up glenoaks near burbank (not sure if the rest of the group took this but our seperated group did) was freaking nuts, My legs were jello!
TONIGHT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE CHANGE IN PLANS, AFTER ALL IT IS THE PERSEIDS THAT HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR US, COME OUT TONIGHT AND MAKE YOUR WISH COME TRUE.
X-Large responding to a comment by louisbianchirider
08.11.09 - 10:45 am
does the change in plans involve the ride not being "good for beginners" anymore? because i'm bringing my friend and he's completely pooped after 20 miles with extensive breaks
I cant wait man bringing the blanket now only one problem how to carry it with me dont know if it will fit in the bag I have pretty big ahh watever I will put in under my wings and fly it there.
well if ya don't know then just FOLLOW THE MUSIC. (Westside Areas)
Sorry, but things have been crazy on TT and we are not posting our route due to peeps riding ahead of the group and other shit that has been happening.
Please be at CM Park at 8pm, we leave at 8:30 sharp.
No late meet-up with the group tonight.

Anybody, that'll definitely be on the ride, have a number I can text them at or something. I have a feeling I'm going to be a little late and I'd like to catch you guys on your route.
I found some keys that got left behind on the taco tuesday ride. aug-11-09.
they were left at cinco deamyo or however the hell you spell it. the taco place on
sepulveda and washington.
they have a blue canon lanyard with a midnight ridazz badge, kyptonite bike lock key on them, and some other keys.
There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going.
There's no knowing where we're riding
Or which way the river's flowing.
Is it raining?
Is it snowing?
Is a hurricane a blowing?
Not a speck of light is showing
so the danger must be growing.
Are the fires of hell a glowing?
Is the grisly reaper mowing?
Yes! The danger must be growing
For the ridazz keep on riding.
And they're certainly not showing
any signs that they are slowing!

Yo XL I am going to call you becuase most likely I am going to have to meet up with you guys later on in the ride. So that way I can get where you are all at and or where you are all going to be this way I can meet you all there.
yes, yes, yes, I understand..... but please understand that Taco Tuesdays is a weekly ride with the "Classic Ride" as the main route that lets beginners be able to join us in semi-local ride area and not get lost(well not get lost as much). If you look at next week's TT, The Terminus of Estas I think you will be more than happy that we are chilling this week. Next week will be an extreme adventure ride, this will be a new route to everyone involved.

Train (choo choo) to Pasadangerous

I was the one who took a mean spill last week after leaving mustache bridge. Headset failure is a bitch. I ended up breaking my scapula and can't ride for at least a month. This royally sucks!
the ride starts in culver city, and will go west, and probably hit mustache bridge (where ballona creek hits the pacific) and the rose ave. mini pier in venice. easy route, you'll have fun
So if you feel the need to KICK AROUND A BURNING ROLL OF ASS PAPER.....PLEASE COMMON DOWN TO ATTOMIC TACO TUESDAYS.... ( also please feel free to bring said supplies please).. See you all tonight........
SOOOOO.. I wont be able to brig the fire ball stuff tonight due to my bag beeing too full.. so if anyone could help out with that it would be cool..... thanks...
Holy Shit!!!!!!!!!!! So I am just now almost recovered from the ride..... Hey, has anyone seen my Ass......... I think I left it somewhere on the bike path...lol... totally lost like 3 pounds...
The total Mileage from my house on sepulveda back to my house was 80.43 miles, with 6 hours and 47 minutes of actual ride time... NOW THATS A RIDE!!!!!!
Congratulations to all who finished, REALLY Congrats... that was a hell of a thing to accomplish.....
Well I hope everyone is ready for tomorrow..... See you all there.................
'Reina de la Pista' is the 2nd video by Summer of
Cumbia from their debut album Summer of Cumbia.
The Summer of Cumbia is
made of up riders from the Taco Tuesdays bicycle club.
'Reina de la Pista' feature stills from the
recording and fun times that SOC had while making the album. The video also
shows scenes from the album release party held in conjunction with the Midnight
Ridazz Taco Tuesdays Bicycle Club.
On Aug 18, Taco Tuesday held a Cumbia Ride to help SOC
celebrate the release of the album Summer of Cumbia and the first video
and single 'Taco Tuesdays' The show took place on the Manhattan beach pier at
11pm. The backing tracks were played on El Sabroso's T-mobile side kick, which
was hooked up to a PA on bike. The bike PA had 2 wireless microphone and huge
speakers strapped to the back.
I know its late bet if anyone can please bring fire stuff... TO BURN NOT KICK.... for a camp fire.... Also Bring the Sternos.. The little cans of jell for a SWEET TREAT>>>
It's at times like this that you wish you were dead
And you take the whole packet and you feel like you've drunk
A bottle of bleach
And you tell yourself 'Never, never again
Well, not until next week anyway'

YOU REALLY GOT TO HAND IT TO XL AND THE CREW, ALWAYS A BOMB ASS ROUTE AND SPOKE CARDS, BUT I THINK WHAT I REALLY LIKE IS THE WAY THIS RIDE ALWAYS STICKS TOGETHER. THANKS TO THE WEST SIDE CHAPTER!
to the person who fixed my bike (wouldn't want anybody to give you shit for being nice to me u know who you are):
ty so much! you are my savior. I wouldn't have been able to get to the bus stop or home, life would have been hell.
to the person who got me the bus routes and schedules:
other savior! seriously. i have no idea what buses run all night or where and you really saved my ass.
WHAT A GREAT NIGHT, MINUS THE DRAMA.
I THOUGHT IT HAD BEEN CLEAR, BUT LET ME STATE IT AGAIN;
STEALING AND/OR TAGGING WITH NOT BE TOLERATED ON TACO TUESDAYS.
IF YOU FEEL THE NEED TO DO SUCH THINGS, PLEASE DO THEM ON YOUR OWN WITHOUT USING THE CLUB TO HIDE BEHIND.
TO EVERYONE ELSE WHO DOES THE RIGHT THINGS,
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU,
IT'S YOU THAT MAKES TACO TUESDAYS GREAT :)

Please if you want to tag or steal, do not do it in association of ANY ride.
It is clear that I cannot stop you from stealing/ tagging/ whatever, but please let the rides live. Tagging and stealing will fuck over the rides, the stops, and our already shaky reputation.
Fucking noob scribblers, that stuff doesn't even look good.

riding up it made bombing it even sweeter. we need to regulate our own persons and our group. we did. ride or die. no like drive. nice to see you pasadena.
Come train with team taco on sundays! We need more fast people to represent the best ride on midnightridazz.com. We meet at 8 am at crank mob park. Let s get fast together!
lets do Taco truck at 1/2 ride point
what's up with no store stops - fuck that - may need and buy some personal items if get lucky on ride
check out post name of 'Syphallis' - dude needed to make a stop before
Be there 2 nite
Sorry, but do to people stealing and causing problems for the whole of the club, we are not stopping at any stores as a group and not posting or giving out the route. Sadly this has to happen because of the lack of responsibility on the part of some of the people who ride with us. Get your supplies before hand, how much does a pack of water balloons cost anyway? LOL.

I've never been, so I'm psyched about checkin' out the ride tonight.
I've got all that is necessary, except a helmet. Hope that's cool. Wish I had one, but the douche of an ex boyfriend took my last one....and I don't have time right now to get another.
Bad timing I guess; but I didn't want that stopping me from coming along!
see you tonight.
Catherine
aka Catliz79...
I'll be the one on the blue beach cruiser that looks like a deer in headlights I'm sure!
Gonna be super chill tonight, dress warm and cruise with the pack.
Bring all the stuff you wana drink (I'm bringing my friend Jack) and eat cause we ain't stopping at no stores. Bring toilet paper if ya wana keep warm by the fire ;)
@Volta - Yes, we end near the start, at a local taco place. If this is your first time riding with us, please read the "Rulezz of the Ride" at the bottom of this page and read the ride posting. Thanks, look forward to seeing ya.

I was involved in a crash with a girl, I don't remembered how it happened or much of the night before the crash. I hope she's alright and I feel so bad. I got home and passed out from pain. On my way to the hospital with a swollen shut left eye and a big gash. Oh I wish this never happened....I feel so bad.
And death shall have no dominion.
Dead men naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion.
Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall not die windily;
Twisting on racks when sinews give way,
Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
Faith in their hands shall snap in two,
And the unicorn evils run them through;
Split all ends up they shan’t crack;
And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion.
No more may gulls cry at their ears
Or waves break loud on the seashores;
Where blew a flower may a flower no more
Lift its head to the blows of the rain;
Though they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.

Thanks Louisiana....I feel fucking horrible. She's such a sweet girl. I was meaning to get lights for a while and I feel completely responsible. My bike is thrashed, I fractured a rib, I have an orbital fracture on my left eye socket, and got 7 stitches on a long gash on my left eye. We took such a hit that I personally don't remember much. I walked to a pay phone and called my friend who picked me up. Needless to say I will not be riding for a long time, I'm too fucking shaken. I really meant no harm and I should of not gone so fast....FUCK! If there is anything I can do for Sam, anything, my email is raybanfandom@gmail.com. I hope to apologize to her and help out as much as I can. This should not happen....helmets and lights are so important, as well as keeping a straight mind while on a bike. If you are reading this Sam, please send me an email so I can do my part to relieve my guilt by showing you how sorry I feel. I will do anything you say, I feel horrible.
hooray!!! DTLA!!!! don't care if i gotta be up by 5am i'm coming out tuesday!! possible MOM and Taco meet up on tuesday!?!?! love it when when my fav two rides/fam come together!
As always, we here at Taco Tuesdays always encourage you all to ride safe, be respectful and have fun... SHIT happens some times, people get hurt and bikes get broken.... As long as you live to ride another day things will be ok......
We know you all love Taco Tuesday so much that you are willing to bleed for it...... BUTT please lets keep this to a minimum people... lol..
SO PLEASE REMBER>>>>>> we frequently traverse very dark and sometimes treacherous paths and roads... ALWAYS have FRONT AND REAR LIGHTS... Trust me, you will need them and they just might keep you out of the hospital....
OOOOOOHHHHHH and 1 more thing.... WE NEED PEOPLE TO START CHIPPING IN MORE..... It is getting hard to provide the fire materials to keep us warm all by my self... If everyone brings 1 roll of toilet paper and/or a small thing of lighter fluid it would solve the problem...
SOOOO please, Everyone help out Taco Tuesdays..... It takes all of us to make this ride something you will tell your children about..... If you already don’t.. lol..
Daaaaamn, this is tempting... is there decently safe parking around the start? I've never gone on a ride that started near CMP. Metro doesn't run late enough to get me home...
Nice hanging with you guys and a kickass spot to boot.
My little sister wasn't too thrilled about it for whatever reason, but after 16 years of having missed the Roses, I've been reintroduced to it in style.
On that note, did anyone get a shot of Dr00by on the horse with the broad-sword?????
Holy shit - is everyone alive? I think TT is getting too safe and conservative for my tastes. People should probably drink a little more and brake a little less.
OMG.. Has the rain ever stopped us before..... HELL NO... its so much more fun in the rain.. Just rember TO BRING STUFF TO BURN>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> We are gonna need it. Also please bring a bike with breaks on it to avoud an incident like last tuesday....
You might also want to bring trash bags to wear to keep you dry, and goggles or somthing to sheald your eyes.. TRUST ME.. we do this alot...
AND BRING LIGHTS>>> FRONT AND REAR>>>>>> ITS A MUST........
This is a repost from the New ride thread. No disrespect to the taco tues crew.
I just dont get it? People make such a big deal about stealing and tagging on rides. To me if you are on a single speed with no brakes, that is ten times worse than tagging or stealing. You are jeopardizing peoples lives. Its one thing if you want to put your self at risk. But the more and more we see this the more people are going to start getting in accidents they cant avoid because of these idiots. Plus I cant think of any worse image for group rides than city officials and cops knowing there are going to be 17 year olds with major head wounds every time there is a ride!!!

hey XL, dont know if i heard right last TT , but tonight you are bringing more spoke cards from last weeks crazy 88 cuz u were all sold out? or i just straight missed out?

Last night was such an awesome ride. I just wanna say thank you for giving me one hell of a ride for my last one! Thanks to all the riders I met that helped out in the past, Ill see you guys in a couple of months!
that shit was ridiculous. the guy busted a u turn and almost hit another car in the process to try and run riders over. This is the first time have seen someone go into a fit of rage and go out of their way to try to hurt riders but it's similar although more severe, to the hummer incident. i thought for sure the one kid's bike(he fell off his bike and was not on it) was going to get ran over but luckily it was not. .
the flats.... one of the many things that went on last night. There where a couple flats here and there. luckily there was this one fellow with the floor pump. the cops waiting for us as if they knew we where coming.
Even with all the commotion it was a great ride itself and i thoroughly enjoyed the new locations(to me) that we went to.

yesterday night after taco tuesday, there was an attempted bike jacking!!!
some how my friend got seperated from the big group and was assaulted by a 5'11 male on venice blvd near crankmob park....
Just want to remind you guys to be extra extra careful out there.. That rat bastard didnt get the bike instead he got stompped out!!! straight to the fucking face just like bitches deserve... but maybe you wont be as lucky as he was... Keep ur eyes peeled and stay safe ppl....
Thanks to all for coming out and looking for tsunamis last night. Last night was great but I hope everyone has learned their lesson of NOT shouting negative stuff at the police. They seem to be chill with us as long as we are chill with them. Thank you for NOT doing such things on future rides, it only makes it harder for us to have a fun time :)
@Debut - Wow wtf? At the beginning or end of the night? Sucks either way, gotta be careful out there, but great news on the justice being issued out.
