2011 Memorial Day Ride

You say you’ve got a hankerin’ for a nine-minute timelapse Memorial Day vidclip of 30-miles worth of urban cycling from Silver Lake to Westwood’s National Cemetery and back — augmented rockingly from start to finish by “If I Leave This World Tomorrow,” an absolutely jamtastic blues number from Glenn Kaiser (sorry if the tune’s not playing right away; YouTube’s Audioswap function is sometimes slow to sync with a fresh upload)?

Will Campbell arrived in town via the maternity ward at Good Sam Hospital way back in OneNineSixFour and has never stopped calling Los Angeles home. Presently he lives in Silver Lake with his wife Susan, their cat Rocky, dogs Terra and Hazel, and a red-eared slider turtle named Mater. Blogging since 2001, Will's web endeavors extend back to 1995 with laonstage.com, a comprehensive theater site that was well received but ever-short on capital (or a business model). The pinnacle of his online success (which speaks volumes) arrived in 1997, when much to his surprise, a hobby site he'd built called VisuaL.A. was named "best website" in Los Angeles magazine's annual "Best of L.A." issue. He enjoys experiencing (and writing about) pretty much anything creative, explorational and/or adventurous, loves his ebike, is a better tennis player than he is horr golfer, and a lover of all creatures great and small -- emphasis on "all."
