Hey wsup gang, i figured it was time for the SGV to get into the mix and we should mob this part of town. Something new to see perhaps? A new adventure a new day. So come on out and get your bike "fix" and help support the SGV ridazz!!! what do u guys say? anyone else down? if it conflicts with something else we can change it to another night if u guys wish.

I dig rolling the SGV and normally I'd be down but March 3 is the day before the bike tour and marathon. Count me in for future ones though!

One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small. And one that mother gives you won't do anything at all....

shit...I think it's wearing off. I think I'm building a tolerance.
Memo to myself: hit up CVS tommorow for another bottle.
Hmmm. Oh wait...maybe you could hook me up.
See you March 3, busta.

hope to see many of you on the 3rd of March. anyone coming out from the East End Ridazz area? i hope that making the starting point near the goldline helped out for some. Anyone taking the train to the ride? oh yah, the ride isn't going to be a super quick pace or anything. it's just going to be a cruise for the most part. drinking and gettin lit is encouraged.

I'm going. I am looking forward to the ride...most of the time, I ride right through that area into LA. So, I haven't really been in the area much.
Yeah...East Enders are represented!
I'll spread the word

Looks like a nice route. Are we riding clockwise or counterclockwise? I didn't really follow the numbers on the points.
tern02.8.07 - 6:38 pm
reply
we'll be going counter clock wise because of the downhill section going south out of pasadena. thanks for the support Tern....
t.bone02.9.07 - 9:10 am
reply
No thanks needed. I am should be the one thanking you: thankyou! I guess you could call it support, but you, my friend, are providing me with a really fun ride to go on. I can't say that 'we are legions,.' but I've already found a few people who are up for the ride out to SGV. I'm looking forward to it. By the way, are you up for a rainy metric century tomorrow morning? I sure am. Some friends and I are riding it as a wakeup call / big conditioner for the Dark Century. We need to put some mileage in. If you go, I'm the guy with a beard and a blue Masi.
tern02.9.07 - 4:58 pm
reply
Yeah, Gordo! I'm glad your going to go on the Pill ride. We could ride out together, although I know that you will have another twentyish miles of slight uphill / slight downhill overall. We can do a scouting ride in your area for darkcen earlier in the day...then hang out at my house for a while, if you want. That way, I could meet you down there at Whittier Narrows. If you aren't feeling like making the last part of the ride home, you can crash in my living room--your friends that ride with you included, if you bring any. Or you could drive. I'm sort of locked into riding out because there are a few other east enders who will be riding out with me.

yo drew where/when? are you guys gonna meet up for the ride out?
FuzzBeast02.19.07 - 4:11 am
reply
riding out sounds like fun. worst case scenario is i get a friend of mine who should be coming along to drive me home later that night if im too pooped. I'll hit you up before the 3rd to see when/where youre going to be rolling out from.
Gordo78902.19.07 - 9:30 am
reply
Yeah ride out folks! it's gonna be a blast. i tried to make it non-uphill as possible. but there's a couple of weak ones, so no worries. i got about 6 of my friends that are supposed to come out that night too. Yo Drew, good lookin out on the hommies by lettin em crash at ur place. Bring more heads!!! i should have spoke cards too!

FuzzBeast--my house in Covina, sevenish.
I'll email you a gmap from P town.
tern02.19.07 - 9:54 am
reply
CORRECTION, FuzzBeast, Gordo (et al)...looks like this one meets up pretty early. Let's meet up earlier in the afternoon...how about 4:30. We can ride out and then get something to eat...didn't the sticker on the pill bottle say "take with food?"
tern02.19.07 - 10:08 am
reply
let me know if u guys have any ideas on how we can make the ride a lil more fun, rememberable and satisfying. I'm thinking of a place to stop (besides the liquer store) where we can chill, grab a drink, or eat. There's several food spots that we're gonna be passing from fast food to sit down, a boba drink spot (buy 1 get one free!), a lil park, and the santa anita mall. let me know if u guys got suggestions, i'm open to them.
t.bone02.19.07 - 1:47 pm
reply
yo tern I think I'll definitely be riding out for this one. I'll hit you up for a good route to your place before then. Sounds good, we can roll out early and get some grub, then chill and wait for the festivities to start. Old town is not too far and theres plenty of places to eat/drink around there.
I GOT THE FEVER BABY!!! Only one pill can cure me...
Gordo78902.19.07 - 4:37 pm

yeah drew, just toss me a map, I'll be there.

t bone. Maybe you could hand out route slips in orange pill bottles...
tern02.20.07 - 10:55 pm

It's starts close to my neighborhood - so I definately would like to join in.
I can bring my sound system trailer ( hope I can keep up pulling the 40 pound trailer). Bring an mp3 player with a few songs to share.

Yo Eric, that sounds like a good plan! Please come out, bring some friends and bring ur music!! I was trying to think of a way i could rig up a speaker, but all i got is an ipod at this moment. So if u can bring the trailer with the sounds, that'd be SWEEET man!! hope to see you there that night.
t.bone02.21.07 - 12:56 pm

Nice Eric... We all appreciate it when someone brings the sounds... especially when you've got to lug it around. Big props for the Sound Providers!!

Bring your portable radio. I'll have my FM transmitter setup for the Spoke'n Dissent Ride which is on Sunday http://bikeboom.com/webcalendar/view_entry.php?date=20070204&id=1170.
I might as well test it out on Saturday. Also, if you have an MP3 player, bring it with a few songs to share.

this ride sounds interesting...
whats the pace? is it wolfpack pace or beach cruiser pace?
i ask because ive ridden with the wolfpack before but my girlfriend wants to come along with her road bike.
tanner03.1.07 - 4:52 pm
reply
Pace should be totally kick back. No wolfpack here. It'll be a nice ride and I've always wanted to ride that part of town. UFO was some what close... but yeah... kick back.
digablesoul03.1.07 - 7:54 pm
reply
yah definately a kick back ride. this area of town is not as busy as the city. we'll be listening to some tunes and cruisin. we'll take a few breaks in between or whatever u guys can think of.
t.bone03.1.07 - 8:47 pm
reply
sounds cool. what kind of bikes is everyone bringing? beach cruisers and mountain bikes or fixed and road bikes?
tanner03.1.07 - 9:07 pm
reply
well im riding my fixie that night. i'll be joined by a mixte, a road bike, a bmx or two, and maybe a couple mountain bikes. hopefully my friends can make it. btw the spoke cards are done!! my gf (Amy) helped big time with them and a big thanks to Mr. Rollers for his laminating service. Can't wait to ride with everyone on Saturday. i'll prolly be doing another test of the route tomorrow for fun.

Damn, can't make this ride due to prior plans. Next one.

t.bone03.3.07 - 10:33 am
reply
Gee, thanks for telling us your not going to be at the ride. What the point of telling us your not coming. Who cares, so your not coming. What, should we prepare something for that. Are you the guy who fixies everybodies flat, should we hire a bike mechanic for the night. Or do you bring apple puree, so I don't go hungry on the ride.

Sweet ride tbone. Nice to see that your friends made it. Route was freaking nice. Thanks for bringing the tunes Eric. Can't wait for the next SGV ride. Thanks to those that helped out with the flat for that rider. Glad to see people help others. Lates!

Thanks again for coming out folks~! i gotta plan for the next one. we might do something where we ride down to the Santa Fe Dam area and ride on the bike path a little bit. Thanks for waiting around for the people that fell behind. Thanks again Eric for the tunes!
t.bone03.4.07 - 11:40 am

That'll be a long one. I'm ready to help, if you'd like. We could post it as a Dark Century training ride, if you'd like.

yah drew that sounds great. that'd be cool if i could meet up with u too so we can scout it together. hope u got back to Covina safely yesterday. BADGER SONG!!!

I had talked with the creator during the scarf ride last week about attending. So that message didn't pertain to you whatsoever. By the way, try to mind your own business kid. Feels like I'm at work again...
Oh I'm sorry, are you in need of attention? How can I help you today?
cyclohexanol03.4.07 - 12:56 pm
reply
yeah...lets meet up to scout sometime in the morning, this Saturday. I will ride out to your area...nearish to the meetup for the Pill Ride, no? I'm thinking it will be 40ish miles. To get from there to the path and ride a little bit, it will take that range.
Is the date / time okay with you? Let me know in email.
Thanks for a planning a great ride, man--last night was really fun.
