So the last time I tried to take a group up to the Hollywood sign on The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time, we were chased off the mountain because we got there after the park closed. Everybody was pretty much in agreement that someone should do another ride up there, but starting earlier next time.
"Someone" is you. "Next time" is now:
Saturday, June 26.
Meet at Hollywood and Western, 8:00 PM.
Leave at 8:30 (really, no later than 8:45).
The route will be pretty indirect, with stretches of dirt, but it will be just about the easiest climb that you could take to get up there. It's not a hustle. We'll wait for the slowest riders. But we've also got to get to the top before 10:30, so any stops we make will be short.
Try it; you'll like it!

Sounds fun. We might have to do this. We have a birthday dinner to go to but we're going to try to fit this in. Neither of us have been up to the sign before. Hope to be there!

Oh hey, did I mention the full moon?
I did? OK, that's good, because riding through the park under a full moon is really amazing.
Only 4 hours till departure!

I heard they have motion sensors located near the sign to tip off police.

Perhaps, but we're not climbing around
on the sign. We're climbing the road
above the sign.

@Nathan
I hope you do it again soon. I'd like to try it but could use a little more notice.

They're not on the sign itself, but more than likely all over the surrounding area.

Thanks, all, for coming out last night. That was fun!
Here's
the route we actually took. We'll have to do it again sometime - maybe a couple days before the moon is full, so it'll be higher in the sky for us. Maybe also with a little more notice so that people can plan for it.

I would be 100% down to go, but was already doing something. Especially on the night of a full moon, cause you know; it's cool to respect nature.

Well maybe it's not "cool", but I think it's important, and my elder sister, who has passed, would agree.

Dang guys, the pictures of this ride are super awesome, which in turn make me super jealous! :(

We were totally geeking out with the photo shoots. Well, as much as one can with point-and-shoot cameras.
Next time I bring my DSLR and tripod. (Because what I need is to carry more weight on my back.)

With all the hiking we've been doing on the passage lately, I'm too nervous to carry my own DSLR in my pannier, I couldn't possibly carry Sean's.
But seriously, Gizzard, you missed a great ride and some really sexy photo-shoots.
