Let’s just say that at the same moment I was posing for this timed-exposure (click to enlarge) with The Phoenix in front of the Sepulveda Dam spillway this evening, RIDE-Arc leader Alex barreled by alerting that “The cops are coming! The cops are coming!”
I managed to refrain from bolting and instead held the pose as indeed law enforcement officials arrived in the form of several CHP patrol cars and a small paddy wagon.
Fortunately our sheer numbers and obvious lack of malicious intent were such that they opted to let us go rather than arrest us. Whew.

UPDATE (June 2): And dang if my semi-magnificent powers of recall weren’t put to sweet and sleep-deprived use in charting the 39.9 miles of the ride’s route and the return home from North Hollywood via Gmaps here.
