On April 22nd 1pm, the
Midnight Ridazz AIDS LifeCycle team will be hosting a bike wash fundraiser. @ the
BRW to the west, and the
Bike Oven to the east.
Impress the sexy gals and guys @ your next social ride with how damn shiny and clean your bike is. Roll up to C.R.A.N.K. Mob in style, with a look and sheen that exudes confidence.
More details to be announced.

If you roll up to CRANK MOB on anything nice and shiny you are setting yourself up for a fall when you wake up in a puddle of your puke next to a filth covered tricycle you stole out of someone's backyard (and I don't mean the space behind their house.)

also,
....cubcamp won't be there, with our dirty bikes, after riding untold numbers of miles.
so, if you're not riding with cubcamp, you should either be at BRW or BC, seriously guise!

Everyone should come out and support a great cause. We will have a minimum amount set soon. I hear it's along the lines of $5-7 and anything after that is donations.
I've done considerably worse for money.

Sorry, I accidentally posted April 22nd in the thread post, my brain must have been in the future...
THE FUTURE!
The correct date is March 22nd, this month, which is the date the calender post had been set for. This is in the afternoon before C.R.A.N.K. Mob. Possible ride planned from East side to Crank Mob by ALC east siders.
MARCH 22nd. 1PM.

I'd love to part of the ALC team, but I was to late in registering . I would like to still help out and perhaps crash the ride. i used to carry every color wristband imaginable in my car, why not now..

I'm going to see if I can't get all of that ShatterDay off.
The idea of a bike-wash is better than the washes I've seen up here.
Just hope the people I'm bringing to CRANKMob will be down with this.
I've got quite a tough crowd to please up here.

Two questions:
1. Who's gonna be at which location?
and
2. 1pm til when?
mr rollers03.17.08 - 9:38 pm
reply
I'm not sure I have the authority to answer these questions, but seeing as both my answers are inconclusive, I don't see the harm.
1. iunno... I know that so far at the Bike Oven we've got Randy, Johanna, Richard, and myself... and that so far the Bikerowave is featuring Mehgan, Gary, Franz, and Cathy. The rest is a surprise!!! And everyone loves surprises!
2. uuuhhh... i dunno that either. I'm assuming until we're sure nobody else is coming. OR wait... isn't there a ride from the Bike Oven wash to CRANK MOB or something? Did I totally make that up. Somebody help me out here... Well, if I didn't make that up, the wash would end in time for us to ride to CRANK MOB...
I'm soooo gonna get my ass kicked by somebody who actually has it together, aren't i...
BUT what I do know is:
There will be ladies.
There will be slippery sudsy water.
...there will be slippery sudsy ladies.
There will be shiny bicycles.
There will be lube.
And I mean honestly, what else do you need to know?

Oh, I'm there for sure! Even though my bike's not that dirty, it looks like a fine opportunity to support a good cause and have fun . . . I figure I'll hit the Oven since it's more in my neck of the woods.
Just wanted more info . . . I guess I'm that kinda guy.

is there a guarantee or something that comes with this bike wash? like, say my bike gets all clean and then it starts raining on the way to crank mob and it gets dirty again. what happens?
ruinedbyidiots03.18.08 - 9:24 am

the same thing that happens when I offer RBI a ride to San Diego in exchange for gas and grass:
nothing.
spiraldemon03.18.08 - 9:47 am

My bike probably needs a good, dousing after all the riding through the countless rains and sandstorms up here in the desert.
Last time I literally, washed it, was when I rode through a car-wash up in Sacramento at 2AM.

could eric and i have paid for gas at the same time with plastic money?
ruinedbyidiots03.18.08 - 10:07 am

mr. rollers: yaaay! See you there! And don't worry, I've also been asking those questions... they are worth knowing.
stevo: I can't guarantee anything... but... I can take a guess that Franz will not disappoint.
rbi: umm... perhaps the above can distract you from any misfortunate incident you may experience post-wash.
canadienne03.18.08 - 10:43 am

1.) Roster that Liz mentioned is what it will probably be, but should more on the team volunteer or some one has to bail, than it is subject to change. There will be ladies and gentlemen at both locations. Equal opportunity sexy washings.
2.) Bike Oven closes at 4pm, so wash will probably continue until then. Details haven't been worked out, but the plan is to have a ride from Oven to West Side for CRANK Mob. Bikerowave washes may continue later since the BRW will be open for CRANK Mob costume making session.

-As twisted and painful as that sounds, I'm literally dying of laughter at that thought.
I'll go see if I could rent a 28' foot tanker w/Peterbilt 400 daycab, and drive it down to the wash just for ironic-amusement.

Ooookay... so now I might be riding to the Must-Have-Mustache ride from the Bike Oven wash? So confused! All I know for sure is that I'll be up all night... somewhere... far... with no way of getting back to Burbank other than my own two tired feet... and a shiny shiny bicycle :D
...sounds good to me.

Even if you cant make it to the Bike Wash be sure to Donate Generously to the Midnight Ridazz ALC Team! They need to raise funds to ride for this important cause. Please help them.

My bike was pretty clean when the week started, but a 40 mile round trip to the beach and a few other assorted rides took care of that; it's filthy now and in need of a good cleaning.
So I'll be at the Oven tomorrow gettin' my bike washed and ready to take pictures of you and your sexy clean bikes!
Archival quality prints available for a small donation to this good cause.

All you fools on the Eastside, come to the Oven 2morrow to get your rides squeeky clean. 1 to 4 pm. Even if you don't want to us to clean your contraption you call a bike, come anyway to hang out and pitch in 5 or 10 bucks to help fund the Midnight Ridazz ALC 7 Team.
Dont be creating any mudholes and running all y'all shit through it at S&S tonight just to fuck with us. THAT WOULD NOT BE KING.
Although it would be funny cause i would do some shit like that. hahaha
