Fools Gold Ride
04.1.09
The California Gold Rush (2004-2009) began in 2004, when gold was
discovered by a group of
young ingenues on the streets of Los Angeles, California.[1] News of
the discovery soon
spread, resulting in some 8,000 men, women, and children coming to
California from the rest of
the United States and abroad. Of the 8,000, approximately 7,890
arrived by bicycle while the
remaining 110 arrived by pennyfarthings and freakbikes. As a result,
the foundation of
California's make-up was significantly more diverse than other parts
of the country and thus the
Los Angeles Midnight Ridazz was born.
These early gold-seekers, called "the mamas and the papas,"
traveled to California by riding
their bikes across the continent, often facing substantial hardships on
the trip, like little to no
bathroom breaks, dehydration, and sometimes fools gold. While most
of the newly-arrived were
Americans, the Gold Rush attracted tens of thousands from Latin
America, Europe, Australia
and Asia. At first, the prospectors drank the gold from streams and
riverbeds using simple
techniques, such as beer bonging, shotgunning and the ever popular
double fisting . More
sophisticated methods of gold recovery were later developed that
were adopted around the
world.
