The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time #247: The High Road
04.30.14
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:
The High Road
There are times when, through necessity or laziness, one is compelled to take the low road. But we'll not stoop to
that level; not this week.
This week is all about taking the high road. It is not necessarily the highest road--indeed, sometimes it is not even
a road at all--but it is certainly the higher one, given the available choices.
Mileage in the low 20s; stairway count in the low teens; all quite unnecessary.
Talk, talk, talk...
