CubCamp 2010
Thread started by

Hi all.
Whether you've ever been on CubCamp or not, we'd like to invite you on our weekly journeys, which start at 9pm on Thursdays at the infamous BikeRoWave, at 12255 Venice Bl (just east of Centinela).
Please don't confuse this with a testosterone-infused ride, even though our ratio is way too skewed towards the male gender. That really needs to change. I like to think of CubCamp as a newbie-friendly ride for folks that want to explore the city as well as push their muscles and their lungs a little bit.
For those that have tagged along, whether it's been only once or multiple times, why don't you post your short description of feelings CubCamp evokes for you.

CubCamp started me on the path of my addiction with speed.
It's like a fun-filled, supportive gateway drug into a quicker-paced world of riding!

Ha the high-speed pursuit graphic was from a sort of "race" I put together with a weird system of rules and point scoring in which one person was the cop each round (with real police uniform shirt) and everyone else were robbers. Person with the most points at the end of a bunch of rounds meandering around the west side, scored loot at the end. Kind of weird but it was pretty fun. That was back in the day where I had time to do photoshop work for everything I did and over complicate things with thinking too much.

Really tough for me to get there by 9pm on a weeknight unless I drive (which kinda kills my boner). I want to try this and can’t believe I’ve never made it out in the past. Are you still doing the 5-week cycles?

ezzie04.1.10 - 4:32 pm
reply
Sure, as long as you're comfortable climbing on whatever ratio you've got going the climb shouldn't be all that bad.
I'd be more worried about the descent though, I hope you at least have a front brake! Honestly, we barely encounter any traffic on Sepulveda on the way down, but it's a non-stop descent for about 15-20 mins, you shouldn't do it without brakes. It's been done brakeless before, but it's pretty exhausting on your legs.

TheDRAGHIT05.13.10 - 10:00 am
reply
It's all good, this week won't be any harder than next week's "Level 1". Seriously, it's a short ride, if you wanna make it tougher, you just do more of the short hill climbs to tire yourself you.
We'll have you all back in bed by 11pm, I promise.

No worries, that Fro Yo in everyone's tummies will cool down the pace. There will be route maps available - either way, nobody gets dropped on level 1s.

CubCamp has a new policy - no (fast) rider left behind. We wait for flats and mechanical troubles.
Ladies are starting their own pack, and they tend to leave 5-10 mins before the guys. So far it's been working out quite nicely!

CubCamp transcends space and time! (and start locations)
Some of CubCamp's originators used to reside (and some still do) in Echo Park, figured it be a nice change of scenery.

CubCamp rides with Cyclones nowadays ;)
CubClones!!! CloneCamp!
In the Future (which is Now, according to most Ridazz) start location will vary back and forth between the BikeRoWave and the Church of Scientology. It may become a monthly ride, because after all, it is a party on wheels, and too much of a good thing can be bad.

I think there was more love between CubCamp and Bicykillers when CC was on the west side. We over here at Cyclones have figured out a way to coexist with Wolfpack on Mondays very nicely, like LeBron and D Wade. Different start times and different styles helps, it's nice to have something for everyone. Hey, some people dig going to Passage on Wednesday night but if I can carry out the basketball analogy, TRFKAS is the Lakers. Kobe Gabriel.

Well it sucks having to go way east or north to do rides with all the dangerous shit out there right now, (people getting beat by bats, getting hit and runs, ect) Getting there is not too bad, its the riding home alone at midnight/ 3am thats scary. Now we are moving one of the only fast westisde rides to the eastside?

CubClones or CloneCamp -- so hard to pick, but both are awesome. I'm super glad you're having starts over here. Even though we continued to drive to CubCamp after moving Eastside, this is definitely going to make me a regular again!

West side probably has more riders than east side with all the roadies, but not many of them ride at night I am assuming. I would go for a westside ride
