IN MY FOUR YEAR MIDNIGHT RIDAZZ CAREER,THIS IS MY SECOND ATTEMPT AT LEADING A RIDE.MY FIRST ATTEMPT BOMBED AND ,WHILE IM NOT EXPECTING YOU DAMN DRUNK HIPPIE\HIPSTERS TO BE UP BY TEN,I DO HOPE THIS ONE DOESNT MAKE ME WANNA WAIT 3 YEARS TO LEAD ANOTHER ONE.SO JOIN ME AND NELSON(THE OTHER ARMADILLO MEMBER THATS LEFT) ON THIS RIDE.IT MAYBE NOTHING SPECIAL TO YOU ,BUT IT WILL BE TO ME.AND NELSON.IF HE SHOWS UP.
ITS ON THE CALENDAR...
RIDE FROM BURBANK THROUGH GRIFFITH PARK, TO THE BIKE OVEN IN HIGHLAND PARK AND THEN ON TOWARDS DOWNTOWN L.A. TO FIND THE BEST SPOT TO WATCH SOME OF THE MOST BICYCLE COMMITED HUMANS RACE THE CLOCK AROUND OUR BEAUTIFUL CITY.
THE PACE WILL BE DICTATED BY THE SLOWEST RIDER,SO IM HOPING THAT UNICYCLE GUY WILL SHOW UP.

I'll be coming up from Long Beach with the "Ride Every Saturday" group.
The best place to set up will be near the top of the steep hill (I think they go up Temple).
I'll look for you guys. I'll be the fan with a cow bell.

I'm going to try to make it, but I'm also letting you know that I'll be turning in my patch that day too.

I think an interesting point to watch it is from 1st and olive.....The route turns from Grand to 1st and to Olive on that downhill on 1st. Could make for interesting crashes? Plus we can invade the parking structure on grand and 1st for a birds eye view.

I can guarantee you I won't be up in time to make it to Burbank in time because I'm a very lazy hippie but I'll make it over to the Oven. I'd suggest 7th and Olive but that's just because I'm selfish.

If Nelson can wake up at that ungodly hour so can I…. or you know, not sleep and wait till it is time to roll to the meet up spot.
Most likely break off at Bike Oven but it will be good to see you!

Damn, I'll be at a charity event playing basketball that day on the other side of the valley. Wish there was some way I could manage to do both. Hope you guys have fun.
For those who can't be up and ready to ride by 10 am would like to make a difference in the lives of children and families affected by HIV/AIDS, come and cheer me and my teammates on this saturday. Here's the pertinent info for the charity event I'll be participating in:
A Child's Dream Charity Basketball Tournament

If Rev. Dak and I try real hard, we might be able to make it the 1 mile from our place to the Oven. Maybe.

...IF Nelson can make it, that's the keyword. Knowing Nellly, he'll disappear when we turn a corner.

Man, I haven't been on a non-Flying Pigeon ride in forever. I'll see you guys when you get to the shop.
On the way back there is a garage in El Sereno that needs peeing on. Borfo can show you which one.

Who got shot? Who got stabbed? Who got hit with a baseball bat?
Did you guys stop by the porno store this time to ask the guys coming out what they bought?
Did Nelson Show up? Did TWBG end up looking silly (as usual) in the shadow of the Armadillos?
Did Veronica bakes some goodies for everybody when the ride showed up at the bike oven? Was there a City Hobgoblin citing? Was SuperCole Super? Did Chicken Leather film it? Did Cashew the Clown and President Obama attend?
Is there pictures??? Come on
