Dark Century VIII

07.24.10

Dark Century VIII

Saturday, July 24th, 2010

Meet at Union Station 6:00 pm

Roll out at 7:00 pm





Meetup & Start at Downtown L.A's Historic Union Station

Finish at The Dennys directly behind L.A.'s Union Station

Spoke Card created and provided by: Creative Thing

Route scouted and mapped by: Ridetime

Ride created by: Tern





Total distance will be around 103 to 104 miles.

Route for Dark Century 8

This ride will have a moderate pace of about (avg. 14-18 mph) and at times will Exceed the average speed. There will be a few gradual climbs but we shall have no mountains to climb.



We will have four scheduled stops, and The only reason we will stop any other time will be for technical problems. We will ride as a group, but if individual riders cannot keep up, there will be 2 bail-out points with the 2nd dubbed "The point of no Return".

This ride will finish at the Denny's behind Union station for a post ride breakfast.



Special notes to century ridazz: 100 miles at night on a bike is never an easy ride. No matter how fit you are, it will be a major effort. If you have never ridden 100 miles in a day, and have not ridden 70 miles comfortably within the last two months, doing this particular ride is probably not a good idea.



We especially love first timers, but please, be prepared for a long ride. We welcome everyone and we will not leave anyone behind, but for the sake of a good pace for the majority of the ridazz, seriously consider your ability to do this before committing yourself.



Things to Bring:



Cool weather clothing. Please keep in mind that we start at 7pm when the weather is warm and if you know L.A. weather, It will begin to dip as soon as the sun goes down so pack a few clothing items to change into.



Two full water bottles, we will make stops where you can buy more water, Gatorade and food, but plan to be self contained. There will be a few stretches on this ride where we will have no access to stores or services.



Please Bring food with you as you will need to eat regularly during this ride. Bananas, Powerbars, PB&J sandwiches, cookies, snickers are all good items to eat while rolling.



I highly recommend that you Eat a good meal before the ride but never fear we will stop at a grocery store for a food break at about the 40+ mile mark.



Please make sure your bike is in good working order. If the tires are a little thin, buy and install new tires, Lube the chain, Adjust the brake pads, Tighten all fittings. In other words, Make sure your bike is in good working order!



Road bikes with gears work best on rides of this distance. Many have done this ride fixed, but I do not recommend you bringing out your mountain bike for this ride. There will be a few short climbs but nothing that will make u wanna call a cab, and climbs or no climbs please remember, the ride is long but you will be in good company and have good support.



Other items to bring:



Two extra inner tubes that fit your wheels



A foldable extra tire that fits your wheels.



A working pump and/or enough co2 to fill two tires. The pump is the cheaper option.



A patch kit (make sure the kit has fresh patches and the tube of glue is not dried up).



Tire Lever and a multitool



Money for food stops and breakfast afterwards.



Route slips will be available at the start for each rider and everyone who finishes the ride will receive an amazing spoke card designed especially for the Dark Century VIII by renowned Artist & fellow rider, Creative Thing who's had the privilege of riding every Dark Century to date.

See you all at DC8 on July 24th
