 The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time #243 - Submaximal Grodiness
  04.2.14  
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), 
but often it is not possible. 
 
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: 
Submaximal Grodiness 
The original intention was that this week's ride would actually be more grody than  
it appears will be possible. Sorry about that. 
 
(Just under, like, 30 miles; totally hills and off-roading)

  All cities are geological;  
you cannot take three steps  
without encountering ghosts  
bearing all the prestige of their legends.
