hey guys... for tomorrows route, i had a question... I don't think i've ridden on most of those roads before... would you say most of it is easy going? Is the part near griffith park very challenging? It's not for me cause I can ride all night with you guys it doesn't matter but it's for a friend of mine who hasn't ridden her bike for years and might join, lol... so yea!

and what kinda stops are planned? what kinda ride will this be like? lol

tell your friend she just needs to think happy thoughts and she can soar over any hill.

That route is going to be soooooo nice.. the toughest part might just be going over the 5fwy and maybe up York. York is a gently incline... and down Fig is going to be sooooo fun. Perfect route for a newcomer!! A ride in my hood... finally!! Yahooooo! This is going to be soooo amazing!

probably some hills in the griffith park area. and there is a hill going up eagle rock to york. but its not monsterous. its a party ride so they will regroup after any hills. and the ride kind of circles around the start point so if you get dropped you are not to far away.

You're 'hood? Where's that?

This ride actually passes right by where I live.

All the cool (SLOW) people can chill at the back of the bus with me.

I'm gonna ride the triple BMX so I'll be even slower than normal tongiht.

What happened to no rider left behind anyway? Too many people get dropped in bad hoods on the big rides lately.

Lets watch out for each other and make sure no-one gets bike jacked fixing a flat this week.

Just don't let your friend ride by Candienne. Those coyotes just love her. Unless of course your friend is into coyotes, then by all means have your friend keep close to her.

Some San Diego folks are coming up, I'm going to make sure they don't get lost. This route is completely in my hood, and parts of it are routine. So I'll probably help with stragglers too.

I'll be rockin' the 3-speed.

Good point. Alot of times people will say they are all right cause they are embarresed to have people stop. but people should hang out anyways just to keep them safe. plus its allways more fun to the next stop in a small group.
