Well it looks like I won't be making it up this time....the timing is just a little off unfortunately. We will be up in LA on the following Thursday (1-12-12) and I'm not sure for how long. One of these days I'll make it up for a ride.....

I'm thinking about going but I didn't want to say I would be there until I was sure I could make it.

Also, I hate to sound like a wimp about it, but what route would you guys take?
I'm not crazy about riding my 25 mph bike on busy highways where the traffic is zooming by at 55 + mph only inches away from bike riders.

I am planning on coming to this ride. I am still trying to figure out how early to leave my house in order to arrive in Venice at 10 am. I live in Hollywood and will taking the streets all the way. I think I will go down Wilton south to Washington Blvd. and then head west on Washington.

The ride to the "ride" will probably be longer than the planned "ride". I guess I should give myself 90 minutes, but I am not sure, I have never really done this long of a ride, so breakdowns seem possible.

Anyway, if I make it all the way there, I really look foward to meeting Norm, and riding with CCC, and Buba, and Vintagebiker, and whoever else shows up.

we can meet on Venice and overland and ride together if that works.

I have a extra bike if someone wants to ride...

 

[bairdco]

i'd love to go but as usual, no car, no ride.

if anyone from OC is going, i'll pitch in for gas, buy you lunch, whatever.

let me know...

That was a great ride... It was nice to see some new faces. Nice to see another good female rider... Who by the way can hang like Jen...

thanks norm for pulling together a great ride

ccc your cruiser is truly an awesome example of your design -build- and fabrication skills

great to meet the new riders -- spread the word

ride safe

I'm really sorry I missed this ride. The wife sort of put a stop to the whole motorized bicycle thing for me. It was semi-alright when I was building it, but now that it runs, she feels if I ride it I will surely die. Maybe sometime later I can ride with you guys, but not anytime soon.
