Best ride of my life? Could be any of the Robotz rides. Or maybe swarm the pier 2? Or maybe that one Crank Mob where we went to the Beverly Hilton and let off a bunch of Fireworks. Could be a number of Angelopes rides too. Even that Westside mosey i went on a couple months ago was pretty sick. Ok last one, Fireworks ride like 3 years ago. Wait.. Ahh the Bride ride that Sean led last year... Deng who could say what's the best?..
Good thread John!

There were a few crank mobs that stand out when the numbers hit over 1000 and you had to walk down la grange with your bike for a block or 2 since there were so many people on the roll out.
RWNN first beyond and back is one of my favorites...i wonder why.....
Tarsis' ride last year was really great with the tea party stop...
some of the sins n sprockets 2008 rides are still my favorites.

Tour De Hoods... from NoHo to LBC.... I was out of shape, it was hot as hell ,hungover, maybe my 1st month doing group rides and I was riding the bus (73 schwinn yellow) and did it like a boss.
Taco Tuesday ride to Long Beach... all nighter, I think i saw a ghost train, I did the last half with a flat because I just wanted to get it over with, did it on the bus, I looked homeless after... it was epic.

+1 on the Robotz shoutout. There's too many to pick one...lots are memorable...I take that back, though. The fucking Valley No Ride: First and best because it opened the door to everything that came after. and because of the whole, getting lined up against the wall and searched on my first group ride. Fuckin' hooligans.

Was gonna whine about it no longer being on the 2nd friday but I see that there is a ride on the 10th. I guess I liked the swarm the pier rides. Parked at the beach. Rode the bus into town. Then rode back to the beach on the ride. Long time ago, far, far away.

I got to say that last nights ride was the worst ride ever. To the fearless sabotaging leader, your lucky my friend didn't notify me till after the ride about your unnevvesary turns to teach us a lesson...... Next time leave the circus bike at home.

Lame.... You all go ahead and follow your leader, blow your lame whistles and waste your breath trying to corral riders. This was no midnight ridazz ride and you should be ashame of tarnishing the name. Trying to ditch ridazz because they won't stay behind your leader is lame.

A real mr ride would for one, not leave anyone behind (especially on purpose), also why does route have to be kept secret. Talk about a power trip. What happened to spoke cards that would have route so that EVERYONE would know where the ride was going?
panic02.4.12 - 10:59 am
reply
I have been on a couple of rides I'd say and never, I repeat never, have I known the route at the beginning. Except for ciclavia and, or a century ride. I have to agree with this gentleman though, what ever happened to spoke cards? My friends only believe I'm cool and believe I'm a midnight riddazz associate if I show them my cool spoke cards.

I guess my ride isn't real because I don't tell people the meet spot, don't tell people the route and Im known for dropping people that want to make that attempt to take over.

Exactly. That would explain the extra turn down Berendo, then again on Normandie. Trying to ditch people to teach them a lesson is not cool.

last night's ride was pathetic all THANKS to the stupid ass leader who doesnt know anything about leading a ride. He cudnt even wait for like 2 minutes for a beer run trying to ditch people. He had no route. He took us all through an alley and cudve gave us all flats. Lame as ride.

I didn't wait for people at 7/11 because I TOLD EVERYONE where we were going, just like the first stop. I'm not going to wait for 2 mins for 20 people go get their booze or whatever they were getting, and IT WOULDN"T have taken 2 mins.

Louis...all rides posted on m.r.com ARE NOT "midnight ridazz" rides....That's a false assumption. I wasn't on the ride so that's my only 2 cents. an official Midnight Ridazz "ride" is on the 2nd Friday of each month. we're all fortunate enough to have a website to post our rides, but they all are not m.r. rides.

Sure, I just think you shouldn't put the phrase "Midnight Ridazz: ...." in the title of your ride on the calendar post. It confuses people to think it's the 2nd Friday ride. I sometimes forget when it's the second Friday of the month.
I hope you don't take peoples criticisms to heart about not stopping at a liquor store. The ride leader should call it as she/he wants to. People should take care of their own shit on their own time and not delay a ride because they want to get a beer last second. And if assholes are racing in front of the ride leader and getting others confused and lost, then they deserve to get dropped.
Music trailers are a big help if you have one. It's common knowledge that if one is passing up the music trailer/ or leader(s), then you are just being an annoying rider who is going to either hijack the ride or confuse people as to where to go. If you want to go fast, do a loop around to the back of the ride and catch up to the front again, and etc.
It's pretty weird if you don't have a route, but it can be doable if you are decisive early where you are going to turn and communicate that info clearly. A bad leader would have people getting ready to turn one way and decide to do something different last second.
There are different dynamics involved for different sized rides and types of riders.
