RIDE- Arc posted just posted. Carpool?
Thread started by NefariousT at 06.4.08 - 10:36 am

Ride-arc looks pretty awesome this month.
I'm coming in from from Old Topanga and have room in my car for one or two more ridaz. Anyone off Ventura in the Valley or PCH near Malibu want to drive one less car?

enosinorbit@yerhoo.com


reply


That's a good idea Nefarious. I'd ride if I were down that way. But I'm on Imperial and Crenshaw if anyone wants to carpool from Inglewood, El Segundo, Torrance, anywhere else near. Gas is almost at $5, think about it.

The ride is posted on the site, http://www.ridearc.org/#

Looks like we'll be going up to the observatory. Gona be a fun one!

**27 miles approximate distance.
**Approximate vertical ascent is around 1600ft in total, with several climbs.
**There are a few "steep" portions of the climb.
**There will be attempts to have this be a no-drop ride only within reason, meaning you will need to be able to change a flat well under 10 minutes.
**You will need brakes if you like your knees.
**The moon will be relatively fresh on Friday night, meaning that we will have little to no light for the majority of the ride. This is intentional. It's an escape.
**You will need a sufficient light in order to illuminate the path in front of you. Safety-type "blinkies" won't cut it as road conditions may vary like an child star's career.
**There are coyotes, and they are not necessarily afraid of humans. Quite curious, in fact.
**Come equipped as you see fit. The pace will be fairly brisk, and the ride is on the 'extended' side of lengths.
**You will need to provide your own tubes and tools.
**Water. You will need to bring your own water bottles.

Oh, Los Angeles, let us count the ways you glean in the evening sky. Streets laden with newly purchased Hummers, despite the high petrol prices. A vast sea of architects scrounging for work in a slowing economy, dressed in black. Your endless rivers of young actresses traveling thousands of miles to "make it big" in Hollywood. The unnamed, lost and found cities of sprawling suburbia, merging grids together like overgrown fungi in petri-dishes we call valleys and basins. Throngs of policeman, paid by your citizenry to protect and serve the tragically inept of the celebrity class. The faux officers, sitting on polished Harley Davidsons mere yards away from the production trucks which take up valuable parking spaces and block off your streets. Your disproportionate ratio of public spaces to "headshot" photographers and awkwardly jaded hipsters...

What is that we hear? A ghetto bird hovering the night sky, taking flashes of light through the windows of our homes? Or was it a news anchorman clamoring for a dramatic story in an otherwise monotonous cloud of cyclical news? Our mistake it was a blogger. An amble of your attempts to quell the Taco Truck sitting upon the bombed roads of Korea-Town? Or just a mere mirage in the sea of over priced homes and peoples bound by the Berlin Walls of freeways and a cemented river? Oh how you twinkle...

It's time for a breath of fresh air. It's time to escape.

RIDE-Arc is presenting Escape from LA 2. Consider is a semi-sequel to our 3rd most requested ride to have redone. That's right: You voted with your popcorn and our producers listened. This time, there is a new route with nuggets of dialogue and beauty lightly touched upon during the ride, and Kurt "I have no career" Russell is not invited.

However, keep in mind: THIS IS NOT THE "TYPICAL" RIDE-Arc ride, whatever "typical" might mean. Normally RIDE-Arc rides are considered to be slightly more difficult than the usual social ride. This one, even more so. We hope you are as enthusiastic about this ride's challenges as we are.

Please note:
-This ride is more oriented towards experiential exploration as a method to convey the juxtaposition of environment and built environment, threaded by stories of history, bribes, wealth, and ghosts. Therefore there won't be too many informational points out of intention. What few tidbits there are will be earned.

======

If you were looking forward to the 'regular' RIDE-Arc style ride with the anticipation of a teenager checking their mobile phone for that vital text message about the answer to #4 on the pop quiz, we're hoping you will be able to join us next month, on July 4th. Yes, you read that right.... July. 4th. 2008. Cue the drama.

Check weather conditions, subtract 10 degrees while descending, add 10 degrees for the uphills. Light jacket or vest recommended for descending.

**** THE MEETING PLACE FOR THIS RIDE IS IN CHINATOWN!!! PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!!! ****
Map: http://tinyurl.com/nfq8e/

We will be meeting in the little 'square/plaza' in Chinatown, in just steps away from the Mountain Bar. Betwixt Broadway and Hill streets. Yes, betwixt.
There is plenty of parking in the area if you're driving to it.
No car? Take the redline to Union Station -> head north on Alameda, left on Alpine, Right on Broadway, look for the 'traditional' props on your left hand side.

This month's flyer will be up on the website soon. We hope: http://www.ridearc.org

Test ride will happen either Thursday night or late Wednesday night - things have been exceedingly busy lately, with a lot of additional time being devoted to the LACBC's River Ride on Sunday - which you should be doing, right? :) Pssst: more info at http://www.la-bike.org

What an awesome ride... I think that was the complete route that Forge'n'Gorge had originally planned to do on Wednesday, except in reverse and at 1/4 speed. (I think if you listen closely when you do that, you can hear "Paul is dead" or "turn me on, dead man" or something like that)

Between almost getting gored by a deer, busting through a film shoot's security line (only to be cheered on by said film shoot's crew) and talking bikes with the park rangers who came to kick us out, it was definitely one to remember.
