The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time #318: Halo Vision
09.23.15
One or more persons during a certain period drop their usual motives for movement and action, their relations,
their work and leisure activities, and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the
encounters they find there.
It's a bike ride.
Started by user nathansnider and user theroyalacademy.
It meets every Wednesday at 8:30pm at California Donuts #21.
We ride at 9pm.
On the seventh year of this bike ride, you might expect:
- more inconvenient passageways
- more full moon picnics
- perhaps more "cover" versions of other people's rides, performed with amateurish enthusiasm
- certainly more amateurish enthusiasm
- disorientation
- reorientation
- pool halls
- bowling alleys
- dance parties
- karaoke
- imaginary histories
- scavenging for fun and sustenance
- more geocaching
- more oblique strategies
- more Oulipian constraints
- traffic median tea parties
Furthermore:
- A medium pace (maybe not for beginners; certainly not a hustle)
- We're not in a rush; we don't need to run every light.
- Maybe some distance;maybe some hills
- Victory donuts!

This week:
Halo Vision
We are fond of hills because, among other reasons, hilltops are wonderful places. (They are! At night,
especially!) But when the hilltops are occupied, fenced off, or otherwise inaccessible, we are denied the full
hilltop experience. So sometimes the best we can do is ride in a circle around the peak, experiencing in parts
what would otherwise strike us all at once.
Now here is where you might expect us to throw in some circumlocutions about mountain kings or Brocken
spectres or other notions vaguely related to the pattern of round shapes in high places. But that would seem
frivolous at this late hour. Why talk around the subject, we say, when we will soon be riding around it instead?
(27 miles; a few stairways; at least 10 hills)
Talk, talk, talk...
