Mid-City Marauders Ride: Topanga Canyon. "Back to the basics".
Redondo to Highland to barham to ventura to topanga canyon to pch to venice to redondo.
This is the start of a weekly weekend worrior 5 part ride. We want to work up to a doable goal of 150 miles in a single day haulin ass.
The pace is as fast as we can make it. Average of 17-20 mph and wanting to work to the ability of 25 mph.
Within the ride we ride to push each other. Sprinting, KOM, Breakaways, and any other reason to push the pace is encouraged.
No person left behind.
Come equipped (tube, patches, multi-tool, pump).
Also we recommend nutrition such as bars, gels, accelerade, fruit, or sandwiches.
And don't forget the water.
Geared Bikes Highly Recommended.
We do not want to discourage anyone from riding with us.
Just make sure you are capable of maintaining 17-20 mph average over a extended period of time.
There will be designated rest stops along the route to allow re-grouping.

Hey Charlie, can you put this up with the ride info? Feel free to edit whatever you needs.
Oh, and I'm gonna post it on it's own thread too.
Thanks man.

Tony, aka T-Bone, from Alhambra, broke his arm a week ago Monday while riding with a few of us. It's broken so far up on his fore arm, near his elbow, that he can't get a cast because it'll ruin the rotation of his arm. There is no other option but surgery. Surgery which cost lots and lots of money. Ironically enough, he works at a hospital but he is not eligible for medical insurance yet.
So I've made some phone calls and we's gonna:
-Throw a hat around at the Sins and Sprockets ride (bring moneez).
-And throw a hat around the Mustache Ride (bring more moneez).
-And next Sunday, March 30th, with the (5fix2), we'll roll from Uptown Whittier to Urban Hippies Wrenching Space in Huntington Beach. We'll be selling food, and have live music with all proceeds going to T-Bones surgery. Sorryz, no drinkz at Urban's Wrenching Space, but we're talking to a bar very close, and hopefully we'll hang there after the food and music.
PLEASE, PLEASE!!! I'm in way over my head and could use any help we can get. Mike, any advice? Anybody wanna donate stuff for raffles. Know a bar around Urban's place where we can get some of the proceeds from the beerz? Really, I'd like to use the Save Dave's Face ride as a template. But! Again, I need all the help I can gets.
Help!
