10:11 p.m. 2-1 in favor of the Cards. Bottom of the ninth. One out. Bases empty. Three balls and two strikes to Matt Kemp. Then the sky opened up and two minutes after this shot was snapped umpires said no more and out came the tarps.
Not only have I never been to a Dodger game before by bike. But I’ve never been to one where it rained, much less delayed the game.
Dare I admit that my friend Michael and I bailed out of our seats and took refuge under the eaves. And not long after the umpires ordered the field cleared we ordered ourselves out of the stadium to our bikes and homeward.

Good to see you made it home safe. I decided since I was already soaked to the bone to just go with the flow and had a nice ride home.
We’ll do it again sometime soon!

Guys
I am glad you both are safe and dry. You know when I read the post about the fact you guys going to game and RIDING there I was sorry I was missing out.
Well who would have thought that in May and late may at that it would be A. cold… B. rain and C. a full on on rain out. YIKES
Next time I am sure it will be a better and dryer outcome!

Manny, I think a Dodgers Game Top Deck Ride should be the next on the IAALMAF agenda!

Jedi, we did. The pyrotechnics were asterisked with a “weather permitting” warning so when the weather opted not to permit an uninterupted conclusion to the game we opted not to hang around.

I’ve been wanting to ride to a game recently. Where did you lock up your bike??

Hi Danny,
The designated rack made available to cyclists at Dodger Stadium can be found all the way at the back of Parking Lot P to the left of the entry gates that lead to the Top Deck seating.
Here’s a pinpoint of the location via Gmaps:
