The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time #301 - Cross Purposes
05.27.15
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.
Started 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:
Cross Purposes
The purpose of this route is to cross. And cross we shall. Indeed, we will spend
much of of our time crossing back and forth, as well as navigating the areas
around the points of crossing. But, while we have a fixed route in mind, we may
cut the crossings short if it starts to get too late. We’ve had enough long, late rides
lately and wouldn’t want y'all to get cross with us.
Not at all sure what this has to do with porpoises though.
(25-30 miles; mostly flat; a couple short off-road sections)

We must replace travel
as an adjunct to work
with travel as a pleasure.
