The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time #129 - Worst. Ride. Ever.

12.21.11

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.
We'll endeavor to return before the last red line trains (around midnight).

On this bike ride, you might expect:
- inconvenient passageways
- oblique strategies
- Oulipian constraints
- disorientation
- reorientation
- "cover" versions of other people's rides, performed with amateurish enthusiasm
- amateurish enthusiasm
- pool halls
- bowling alleys
- karaoke
- geocaching
- full moon picnics
- traffic median tea parties
- rivers that no longer exist
- smell tourism
- Couchwick v2.0

Furthermore:
- usually 20-35 miles
- usually some hills
- a medium pace (probably not for beginners; certainly not a hustle)
- few stops, short stops
- but we're not in a rush; we don't need to run every light
- victory donuts!

This week:

Worst. Ride. Ever.


A lot of people, it appears, are already gone for the holidays. But, lucky
for those folks, they aren't going to miss much Passage-wise. Because
this week on the ride, this week we have our WORST RIDE EVER.
Yes, it's going to be incredibly disappointing. Unexciting, to say the least.
We're just going over all the SAME bridges as before, up all the SAME
staircases, through all the SAME tunnels. BOR-ING! You could call it
somewhat of a greatest hits of nearby passageways -- if they were
actually all that great. But not really, right? No, certainly not. Oh, what a
convoluted mess of twists and turns we will take, shamefully retracing
our routes of yore. EMBARRASSING! Absentees will be glad they
are gone, happy to have a reprieve from the tedium of excessive
inconvenience. And, okay, they will miss a new passageway or two --
an alley here, a tucked away wooden staircase there -- but where's the
WHOLLY VIRGIN TERRITORY? And where's the CONCEPTUAL UNITY?
Elsewhere, that's where. Certainly nowhere near this snoozefest of a
ride. Because this ride, it is going to be the WORST.

~20 miles; a bunch of short, steep hills but, for many, we'll take the stairs

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

PLEASE ALSO NOTE: Next week's ride is going to be even worse!
Indeed, you could hardly call it a ride at all. Actually, that is exactly
what you should call it because there will, in fact, be no ride next week.
Again, to be clear (finally, for once!), NO RIDE on the 28th of
December. Our normal schedule of weekly excellence will resume on
January 4th.
