Bringing Morningz Back: The Frank Lloyd Wride / H'wood Session

05.30.09

In my quest to Bike Every Day In May, here's what I’m planning for this coming Saturday, May 30:



The Frank Lloyd Wride — Hollywood Session



Very brief backstory: A long while back I got the hairbrained notion for a BAD IDEA RIDE that involved biking from Duarte in the San Gabriel Valley out to Malibu, visiting all of Wright’s creations along the way (there’s eight or nine). But because I’m prone to occasional moments of clarity and common sense, that ride never happened. Other more motivated and dedicated ridazz than me have since picked up that baton I dropped and done various rides looking at the architecture of Wright and others, which is awesome.



For this Saturday we're boiling down Wright's stuff to the nicely manageable number of four of his residences that he built relatively close together in Hollywood: Ennis House, Freeman House, Storer House and Hollyhock House.



So basically Saturday's ride going to involve a visit to those four domiciles. But I'll also be making a stop at the Monastery of the Angels because I’m jonesing for loaf of the Hollywood nuns’ famed pumpkin bread. In addition there will be breakfast (flannel cakes!) at Musso & Franks before finishing things off at Hollyhock House in Barnsdall Park because it just so happens that guided tours are offered there and its been a long time since I've seen the inside of that marvelous house.



So the itinerary will go a little something like this:



* Ennis House

* Monastery of the Angels

* Storer House

* Freeman House

* Musso & Frank’s

* Hollyhock House



Here's the route: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2859748



If any of you joined me on the Black Dahlia/West Adams ride and remember all that reading I did of factoids and crap out of a book at many of the stops made, please take note that I ain’t going goofy with the blah blah this time around (is that cheering I hear?). At most I’ll have basic info about the landmarks, so if you wanna know more you’re on your own.



We’ll meet at the usual place: Silversun Plaza at Sunset and Parkman in Silver Lake. But the time is going to be later than usual. Instead of a 7:30 a.m. start, I’m leaning more towards a 9 a.m. departure.



Last but not least: I’ll be mothballing my singlespeeder and dusting off my multi-geared roadbike for this trek, because there be some hills to be cranked getting up to them there historic abodes. So bring your climbing legs.



And yeah, I’m pretty sure there’ll be a limited number of spoke cards.



WHAT: Bringing Morningz Back: The Frank Lloyd Wride / Hollywood Session

WHEN: May 30; departs at 9 a.m.

START/FINISH: Silversun Plaza (corner of Silver Lake Boulevard and Parkman Avenue in Silver Lake, 90026)

MILEAGE: About 18



PS. Did you know you can’t spell Hollywood without two Ls, an O a Y and a D? Now ya do! Crazy, Wright!?

You have been warned. Plan to attend or avoid accordingly.
