Bad Idea Ride: Ride of Yore
05.22.09
Good idea: do midnight ridazz, be in bed by three.
BAD IDEA: Ride from Koretown to Long Beach via Palos Verdes.
Ride gathers at 11:45pmt, leaves AT 12:30 Finish intime for breakfast.
We are being sentimental this month by using the route from the first bad idea ride. We are meeting at Wilshire/Western at 11:59. Then we will head west toward Marina Del Rey, then south around Portuguese Bend through Long Beach to Seal Beach with a lap around the Naval Station and back to LB for breakfast. The Total Mileage is around 71.
Bring cash and a lock for to keep your bike safe while we have breakfast
>We won't try to drop anyone, but this is specifically NOT a "no riders left behind" ride. Bring a bike in good working order, spare tubes & pump, bus fare (slim pickins at 4 am), & anything else you'd want on the fringes of a metropolis in the middle of the night. Don't come out if you're not willing to be on your own.
SPECIAL NOTE: No busses or VERY INFREQUENT BUSSES travel on the streatch of PV Dr.
>Other good things to bring: Lights & spare batteries. Water. Probably anti-inflammatories, if you flame out. A layer or two. Money for snacks. ID. Maps wouldn't hurt. A bit more water. A camera. A friend who'll hang out with you if you get stranded. Common sense, self-sufficiency, & responsibility for your own actions.
>Bring a copy of my cell phone number. It'll be the coordination number for the ride. If you can, it's really a good idea to bring a regional map with the route drawn in--at least the basics of the route. I'll provide direction sheets, but they won't show surrounding streets and escape routes.
This should be both fun and beautiful.
