Here are specs:
1. Favorite Route
2. Favorite Theme
3. Favorite Stop
Feel free to list more than one for each!
K here's mine :
1. Favorite Route
I'll have to the go for the Glo-Ride. It was beautiful, fun and almost magical. Lots of down hillz and fun fun fun. i'd love to do that ride again this year.
2. Favorite Theme
Warriorz! Mostly because I love screaming that + hide and seek on bikes! the Super Villain Ridaz but it was mine so I don't know if that counts. The pillow fightz are always a fav. and of course c.r.a.n.kmob which isn't a theme it's a our party.
3. Favorite Stop
i <3 perchin like a villain and climbing. Recently on the medieval ride we went to a park on top of a hill that was far away from prowling eyes. I thought that was awesome. i also like dance party stops were you look around see about 50 people just flipping out and dancing.
ok that's mine. of course i have more but those are just a few. what are yours?

By far, all of the rides have been good and fulfilling, but when it comes to the best, the Robotz series have become my new love.
Every month, it's a different route, with different stops and a change of scenery that makes you wonder what rabbit knittens will pull out it's hat next.

S&S will forever be missed. They really did have the best rides, vibes, routes and stops. Its kinda like "you had to be there" type of deal.

@borfo
Yeah, the Discordian Ride was also a pretty good hit with me as well.
The way all 300-500(?) of us split it into smaller groups and took to different routes throughout downtown.
The entire time we were rolling, I had this impression we were mounted cavalry spreading fear and terror into a citizenry whose rebel-faction had just been squashed!!!
That and mikeywally singing along to the house-music coming out my box!!!

Lotsa drama over that one, but I loved how it turned into a "two-dog" night.

Still one of my favorite rides was the Bad Idea - Donut Ride. Everything about it I loved. Route, length, time, stops, even the spoke cards! That was the first time meeting B rad and MIke Bike too.
BTW, the ride started at 10pm at the LAX metro station, and went in a big loop 60 miles long ending at
The Donut Man There was about 8 donut stops in between this.

I'll keep it to the real Midnight Ridazz Rides...
1. Favorite Route - The UFO Ride, my first and still favorite. Pasadena / Rose Bowl area, pitch black. Also the Dada Ride was very clever. I missed it, but The Discordian Ride was BRILLIANT.
2. Favorite Theme - Alphabet Soup, although the least successful ride I've ever been on / hosted. There were at least 90% costumes, seriously! The Cult Ride from back in the day sounded BRILLIANT, lots of effort went into the stops, and they had actors giving speeches as cult leaders!
3. Favorite Stop - The 4th St. Bridge forever gets my vote. Swarm the Pier Stop was stunning!
RIDAZZ!!!
