That’s Wright

Last night’s Ride-ARC “Tourismo!!” ride was a long labor of love. All in I tallied about 35 circuitous miles from start to finish, which occured at 2:45 in the a.m. with me almost desperately hungry enough to tack on a couple more miles there and back to Tommy’s for some double-cheese-extra-pickles sustenance. But my fatigue …

Griffith Park & Ride

I put out fair warning to my fellow IAAL•MAF’ers that last night’s regular river ride was going to include a climb up the north side of the park via Mt. Hollywood Drive down to the Griffith Observatory. I’d been wanting to head up there for several weeks as I hadn’t ventured into that stretch of …

River Ride Gonna Rock

Just in case you’re not planning on attending this Sunday’s IAAL•MAF “Serenity Now: An L.A. River ODDysey” bike ride from Griffith Park to Cypress Park and back that I’ve been planning, you’re gonna miss out on an a sincere attempt at and edutaining experience. I’m so into getting some fact-based talking points down for the …
