James' Gang Ridazz for Autism

Planning continues, and wrinkles get ironed out to make this a really great ride. We have support from the charity. We also have a support vehicle, driven by my lovely wife, which will be loaded with snacks and beverages. The return trip may be seen as a challenge by some, here are a few options we're looking at:
1. Orange Line, which ends a couple miles short of our destination. Unless you also transfer to the bus system, this option adds 14 miles to your ride as it stops in North Hollywood, short of Glendale
2. I'll be renting a trailer and will be able to transport probably 8-10 bikes and 3 ridazz.
3. Another rida may be volunteereing a minivan to haul more of us back to Glendale.
Any other ideas welcome here.
Let's get this together and show support for a great cause!

We're kinda lacking some context here. Or am I missing something?

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE
RETURN PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED
Start point has changed to North Hollywood Red Line Station, so this is now an 18.4 mile ride with an easy return option on the Orange Line!
Schedule, route from that point, etc. remain the same.
Looking forward to seeing some of you rallying for the cause!

One out of every 150 kids born today has autism. If one out of every 150 kids was kidnapped, we'd coordinate the FBI, CIA, etc. If one in 150 died, we'd declare a national disaster.
Is there anyone out there who will ride with us, donation or not, to show support for the people who are doing something about this tragedy?
Anybody??
Please??!

Great riding out with you Gary. Thanks to your wife for trailing the ride with the well needed snacks. Sagebrush Cantina was a pretty cool place to hang out and that brunch thing they have is crazy popular... many ladies. Nice riding with you Alfonso and to Manny and his crew (Mariachi Ride or roller skating ride?). Pics comin up soon...

Yeah, Gary and his wife were great ride hosts. Having a SAG wagon along was a first for for me, but I don't get out much. And with Gary buying a round at the Cantina afterwards, I'm sure he'll be in demand to host more rides in the future.
Getting up at the crack of dawn, on a sunday, was tough but it was a nice ride.

These morning rides may not be of big groups but they sure are fun and you get to really talk and get to know one another. It was really cool meeting all the ridazz and Gary and his wife that were very nice to us. When good ol (not old) Al came along with his tunes the ride got a super boost and it was all good times after that with the young guys doing there stunts and funny things too. It was a very nice route nice and flat with little traffic and sweet long long sections of nice areas. Thanks for the great time everybody and for the invitation to Gary and his wife! Cheers!

Thanks, guys, Peggy and I had a great time hosting this ride, and we really appreciate you all for showing up for a good cause. It was great fun, and we raised $60 just from the ride alone and over $385 including donations from those who could not ride!
I dunno about buying a round every time out, but I am considering hosting a ride maybe on the third Saturday night, a little earlier than usual, perhaps 8pm, somewhere around the valley here. Maybe start at the red line station, or at Universal station. What do you all think?

I dont mind another early morning brunch ride.
But the 8pm sounds good to me too (especially if I can still catch the metro back to Ktown).
