The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment of Time #408 - Commencement

06.21.17

One or more persons during a certain period drop their usual motives
for movement and action, their relations, their work and leisure activities,
and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the
encounters they find there.

It’s a bike ride.

Organized by user nathansnider and user theroyalacademy.

It meets every Wednesday at 8:30pm
at California Donuts #21.
We ride at 9pm.
While we endeavor to return before the last red line trains (around midnight),
it is generally not possible. Please plan accordingly.

On this bike ride, you might expect:
- inconvenient passageways
- oblique strategies
- Oulipian constraints
- disorientation
- reorientation
- “cover” versions of other people’s rides, performed with amateurish enthusiasm
- amateurish enthusiasm
- playgrounds, pool halls, bowling alleys, karaoke
- geocaching
- full moon picnics
- traffic median tea parties
- rivers that no longer exist
- smell tourism
- Couchwick v2.0

Furthermore:
- usually 20-35 miles
- usually some hills
- a medium pace (probably not for beginners; certainly not a hustle)
- few stops, short stops
- but we’re not in a rush; we don’t need to run every light
- victory donuts!

This week:

Commencement


Distinguished graduates and esteemed faculty, trustees and alumni, family and friends, we gather tonight not to bestow degrees and confer honors, but to embark upon another year's journey. The journey tonight will last but a few short hours, but it can also be one small step in a longer, hopefully boundless adventure — to explore and discover, to look and to learn.

When we started this ride, we didn't exactly know where it was all going. We mean this figuratively and literally: our first ride we left largely up to chance. And we have subsequently often started new years putting ourselves in chance's hands. But we are also committed to the idea of consistent inconsistency. So, this year, instead of chance procedures we begin by simply celebrating a different kind of beginning. And yet, while we have a definitive route, no ride can be definitively pre-planned. A bike route itself is only a kind of beginning. We cannot know beforehand how exactly it will turn out, where exactly it will go — again, literally and figuratively. "Best laid plans...," as they say, and what we plan is often not the best idea by a long shot.

So this week we head out into the streets again, turning the tassel on another year. And whether it is your first ride or your fortieth, we hope we can help you see the city anew, again, with fresh eyes and full of wonder.

(~35 miles; mostly (but not completely) flat)
