City Slickers' to the Southeast Ride
Thread started by

For all those that we've talked and for those that can talk; We've been thinking about having a ride to the far Southeast LA (Downey/Norwalk for now!) to encourage more riders from that area to ride with us; Or for all those that live in the area but have no local rides to ride.
We've already seen quite a few to South Gate, but how about taking it a little further this time. Then as time passes, we might be able to go the distance!!
I'm not a avid rider by any means. And since it's a fresh trail, i'm thinking a smooth steady ride!
No dates as of yet; but there isn't any rides (yet) this upcoming November on 6th, 13th, 20th [Thursdays] or Friday the 7th!
Suggest a date, place of interest, etc. etc... and if anyone is down to bust!!

downey cops suck!!
how about the target parking lot in south gate off of Garfield and Firestone. Its seems like a good place since it is right next to 3 cities; Bell Gardens South Gate and Downey.

I've actually never had a problem with them. It's the cops in Cudahy that i've never gotten around to!
- I forgot to mention actually that we are planning to leave from Huntington Park and make our way to that area. We can have a rest stop in that area. Though I figure it might be better across the street.
Hum?
I think they give us the boot from both places in no time though; Now that I think about it...

If business keeps it slow pace as usual, it would sound like a good deal whenever I'm sleeping in the truck in Montebello.
I'm a Westsida by heart, but I'm down to participate in anything where my truck happens to be parked.

uncharted territory... sounds like it could be an adventure. does any subway line go out there?

I think the Blue Line gets you some of the way there.
There are also a few, MTA buses that get out that way.
I don't reside down there myself and don't think it's all that bad of an area as far as crime goes.
Riding wise, this place could use a good, kick in the ass.
Just like my desert, and the endless work still needed in the Rancho Cucamonga area.

@ Jazzy Phat Nastee: the Metro Green Line goes all the way out there, and that does offer a connection to the Blue Line; and there should be a couple of buses running...
i don't really think there is much crime if any out there... i don't live there, but i do near the area and i'm there sometimes so.
it's nice! that's what can make it such a great ride...
it seems like more people are getting interested! and one can suggest a date? some of the people i spoke to told me it's best to do it on a thursday as to not compete with some of the more commonm larger rides; but now i think this ride can be made to fit to stand on it's own...
anymore out there interested!?

reply
well we just can't give away the route now can we!?
our first stop will be??? but we will be kicking back for a while at another spot down the road most likely. one thing, i rode the route and it might turn out to be a little longer than expected. so depending on who shows up, the route might be cut...
but not by much!
uhm... i knew i had something else important to say, but if i remember i'll post it up on the ride info!!

btw: any suggestions for fun games at the stops!? i thinking of some but i dunno...

hopefully all those that made it last night can read this:
thanks for coming out all of you! i was seriously bracing for the worst and it turned out to be really cool...
i heard some good comments and suggestions, and we'll it sucks that we had to end it a little too early; but it's good and all.
next time it'll be better (hopefully), especially if all of you make it out again! i made it back home safe and hopefully all of you did too. keep in touch!!!
hit me up if anything, let me know about those rides so i can make it out. all my info is on my profile.
