The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time #240: Daylight Shuffling
03.12.14
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 fifth 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 distance;maybe some hills
- Victory donuts!

This week:
Daylight Shuffling
The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time #240:
DAYLIGHT SHUFFLING
Wednesday, March 12th
Meet at California Donuts #21 at 8:30pm, Pacific Daylight Time
We have lost an hour, or gained one, or both, but it is a debatable point whether anything is ever really saved by
this exercise. At the end of the day, that daylight is still gone, is it not? So perhaps it's less of a saving than just a
shuffling around.
This week, the time (whatever it is) has taken its toll, and we have misplaced the hour. Which is not to say that we
will simply be shuffling around ourselves. Far from it! But things that would have been been happening at this
time are happening at a different one, and things that would have been happening at some other time are
happening now.
Get to the donut shop, is what we are saying. You haven't an hour to lose!
30 miles this week, all rather flat.
Talk, talk, talk...
