I am hosting a ride next week for those of us without jobs. I loved the idea of the unemployment ride a few weeks ago but felt that we really needed to do this in the middle of a week day, so here's your chance!
Come on down to the Long Beach Area and enjoy an afternoon without work!
Or call in sick!
THE BROWN BAG UNEMPLOYED RIDE
Wednesday March 5
High Noon meet-up
Roll out at 12:30
Start and end point, T.J. Maxx parking lot

People with jobs are welcome at this ride

Nuh huh. LB rocks. Lots to offer. Belmont shores for Kiteboarding Cabrillo Beach too (although its technically Pedro). Pine Street. Shoreline Drive for the Grand Prix, Aquarium of the Pacific, etc.
What does Oh, Hi! have besides the home of the only resident GG Allin fan?

Be careful Stevo,
RBI recently shaved his chops. he' likely to be more nimble now. Ther's no telling what he might be capable of.

TECHNICALLY Pedro? It IS Pedro. Cabrillo Beach is nowhere near Long Beach. I'm declaring war on you. With guns.

Hey! I did say 'Technically'. I could have used the word 'like', ya know.
And it is 'like' a stones throw away ;-)
It wasn't as if i said that the Minutemen were from there or anything.
I could add that SST founder Greg Ginn lives in the totally awesome town of LB too.

I made 11 spoke cards. I hope that's enough!

Hey Leslie, if I come down on the Blue Line what's the best stop to get off at and route to take?

Crossing Long Beach, which is what you will have to do, is tricky. most cross town streets have car lanes right up to the curb. The safest way is to get off at Del Amo, take Del Amo east 8 miles to Norwalk, then go south on Norwalk to Wardlow. That will be about 10 miles from the Blue Line station.
Another way would be to take the 191 bus (Long Beach Transit) from the Del Amo Metro station to Del Amo & Norwalk, and then ride the final 2 miles down Norwalk to the meet-up.
I hope you can make this, Rollers.

Hey Rollers,
If you're taking the Blue Line to LB, you can meet me at the Willow Station and ride at 9am. The LA River trail is a mile away. Let me know if you want to do this. I'll be meeting Leslie at 9:50.

Thanks for the great idea, Hate!
User1 is refering to the Bike Culture Ride on Tuesday, not the Brown Bag on Wednesday.

It seems that all my ridazz are gainfully employed.
I ate my sandwich alone at the pier.

Sorry Leslie,
After taking the day off yesterday, I succumbed to the evil forces that forced me to return reluctantly back to the grind.

It's OK. Good to know your thoughts were with me.
I knew a mid-day, mid-week ride, in the boonies, was a long shot.
This is why the first unemployment ride was in the city on a saturday night!
Now the spoke cards are collectors items! I'll post them on ebay for $100 ea.
