The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time #165: Who Watches the Watchers?
09.12.12
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 the fourth 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.
- Maybe some hills; maybe some distance
- Victory donuts!

This week:
Who Watches the Watchers?
From every which way, they watch. But who watches the watchers?
Well, this week, *we* will be the ones watching the watchers (or perhaps more to the point, observing the
observers) from as many angles as possible, which is probably altogether too many angles we must admit, but
then no one said this would be an easy job now, did they?
The distance is short (around 15 miles), but expect lots of stairs, lots of off road riding/bike-carrying, lots of
hills and lots of great views!
If you do this ride with clipless pedals/shoes, your feet will most certainly be unhappy. Don't do that.
Talk, talk, talk...
