The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time #140: Me Lucky Charms
03.14.12
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).
See how we move.
On the third year of this bike ride, you might expect:
- more inconvenient passageways
- more full moon picnics
- perhaps more "cover" versions of other people's rides, performed with amateurish enthusiasm
- certainly more amateurish enthusiasm
- disorientation
- reorientation
- pool halls
- bowling alleys
- dance parties
- karaoke
- imaginary histories
- scavenging for fun and sustenance
- more geocaching
- more oblique strategies
- more Oulipian constraints
- traffic median tea parties
Furthermore:
- A medium pace (maybe not for beginners; certainly not a hustle)
- We're not in a rush; we don't need to run every light.
- Unknown miles; pretty flat.
- Victory donuts!

This week:
Me Lucky Charms
A leprechaun has told us that there's a pot o' gold out there in the hills, and, trusting souls that we are, we're
going to go search for it! Our record in this regard (the hunting for gold, we mean) is spotless.
The way out is a slow climb, to be sure, though what's slow going on the way out will make for a fairly lively
return - one aided, surely, by the extra weight of the gold we'll be carrying.
Aye, 'tis true that there's a "real" hill in there too, but how else are we to get to the pot o' gold? Rainbows? Bah!
Who needs rainbows when you've got bicycles?
- 30-ish miles
- A "hill"
- Several bridges
- Patches of dirt here and there
Talk, talk, talk...
(and join the mailing list!)
The hacienda must be built.
