My girlfriend just moved to Davis and I'm here with her until the 21st when I'm moving to Santa Cruz.
I'm going to need some riding. I'm afraid of going crazy without a few ridezz a month.
I'm fucking stoked!!! My girl and I will definitely be there.
Good to hear that you'll be there; make sure to say hello. I'm hoping to spread a little Ridazz style to Davis. Try to check out the film festival, too.
I believe it's $7 per screening. The Varsity Theatre is a beautiful, clean and comfortable space. It was recently renovated and has all new seating and projection equipment.

Davis is my home town and I'm going up just to do Ridazz. If there is a medal for consuming a bunch of precious energy resources to go ride a bike for two hours, give it to me. No, wait. There are worse offenders.
I'm so excited. Mostly because I'm sure Ridazz will be a completely different animal in Davis. Or maybe it won't be an animal at all. I think that Ridazz in LA is certainly an animal that comes all wild and tawny and furious onto the scene because it's so hard to bike on the street in this town. But in a town like Davis where all bicyclists are raised on a nourishing mixture of nuclear-free toad tunnels and historic potholes, can the wild side of Ridazz truly exist? Or will it be just as hum-drum coombaya as everything else in town. God. I kind of want to move back there.
It just occurred to me that someone out there might be interested in joining me one-way or both ways to Davis Ridazz.
Due to an impacted weekend schedule, I'll be heading up to Davis at noon on Friday, and returning at midnight on Friday. I'll only be spending six hours in Davis, but you could have a grand old time if you stay a little longer.
Gas money is not super important as I've already budgeted for this trip.
I will be using the 'bike hanging out of the back of the trunk' method for bike transportation, it's how we do it in Davis. I thought I'd mention that because I've never seen so many people obsess about the possibility of a bike falling out of a trunk as I have in LA.
I'll have room for one or possibly two people and their bikes to join me.

Yeah, it turned out well; a nice little turnout for a first time Davis Ridazz. Thanks to all that turned out, especially Alex for driving up from L.A. just for the ride. Sorry 'bout your crash, Adam.
We improvised a route on the spot with help from the locals that was better than anything I could have planned. Some of the highlights: riding to the top of the big parking structure & back down, riding around the football stadium, heading out into the country, under the stars, down olive tree lined lanes; riding around on the airport runways; the tiny bike paths of Village Homes.
Finally, a big thanks to the members of the Davis Bike Church for their help in spreading the bike gospel!

Ridazz Roulette!
I'll be misssing Midnight Ridazz for the first time since September '05 because I'll be out of town, in Davis, for this:
