The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time #131 - Recuperation
01.11.12
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:
Recuperation
Rumors of hills have been greatly over-exaggerated. Yes, there was
talk of hills this week -- certain whispers, amongst a few, around
dinner tables -- and, worry not, those hills will come. But not this
week! This week we recover from our various illnesses, we lick our
various wounds. This week we take it a little easy (or, at least,
easier). Rather than test our mettle ascending some of the city's
mountainous climbs, we shall avail ourselves of the healing powers of
its famed mild climes. For that is why we came out here, is it not? We
hopped that train from St. Louis because we were promised ample land
and soothing dry air; palm trees and orange groves and well-nigh
paradise. Our post-consumptive future begins now!
