I’ve got a few fun activities on the docket for this weekend including a party and a beach gathering. Even better, this is the first time in a long time that poor Bronwyn has had a weekend off. Friday night I plan on kicking things off with the IAAL/MAF’s Ten Bridges Ride.
Of the activities I enjoy the most in Los Angeles, riding a bicycle around at night ranks pretty high. Riding a bicycle around at night in downtown ranks even higher. Riding a bicycle aroud at night in downtown across the bridges that go over the L.A. river is better yet. After-hours, downtown takes on some kind of magic as it is practically uninhabited and, unfettered by pesky cars, you’re actually able to absorb the beauty of the area, especially of the striking skyline views as seen on the L.A. river bridges, that might go otherwise unnoticed. A ride that goes over ALL the bridges in one night seems too cool to pass up. Plus look at that flyer! Straight up gangsta! (Mobsta?)
This will be taking the place of the month’s usually scheduled RIDE-Arc, which is a night bicycle ride with a focus on exploring local architecture, as RIDE-Arc’s organizer is currently recovering from a broken arm. Like RIDE-Arc, there will be stops to dispense a little bit of history about the bridges. Details for the Ten Bridges Ride are available on the Midnight Ridazz website. Anybody else want to go?
