Marty Backe Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 That may be the shortest CicLAvia yet. I think I'll plan a group ride for that day that can swing by and partake for a bit and then continue to Long Beach / Seal Beach and further. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to riding in that area, maybe lunch in Belmont Shore??? Or, and I’m just throwing it out there...Hooters 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, if you were to charge at Hooters (which some of us have done) you could probably make the entire loop if you manage your energy consumption (don't ride fast). I've done this loop on my 995wh Z10. Anyway, options to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I win the new KS16X then I’ll be able to leave the charger at home. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sweet-talking necessary, but don't let that stop you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I would hope to come on this ride too but I don't have a fast charger and ride a 16S so likely will only be able to do a small section 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you happen upon a charge doctor then I’d be happy bringing my slow charger too if that helps get you the range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly if you're will to Uber back. If you need to ride back then you will probably be limited to 1/2 the ride. It'll still be a fun time.

Dzlchef Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Bumping up since we are less than 2 weeks away. @Marty Backe what's the plan for the after ride? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I'll post a ride announcement, starting in Downey (usual spot for this ride), departing at 9am. Then ride the river, swing by CivLAvia, and then proceed to Hooters for lunch (and a charge). Then we complete the ~45-mile loop. With your fast charger you should be able to make this. I've done the loop on my 995wh Z10 without a recharge, but had to keep my speed under 19-mph. That shouldn't be a problem for you This will be a perfect opportunity to wear my cape again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Backe Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) OK guys, it's on for this Sunday. This will be a ~45-mile ride with an opportunity to recharge your wheel while we recharge for lunch at Hooters. I have done this on a ~1000wh wheel with no recharge, so if you have a 800+wh wheel and a charger, you can make it. Worst case, you can join us for half the ride and lunch at Hooters and Uber back to the starting point for $10. @Dzlchef will be on his KS16S, so if can manage, what's holding you back? We will meet starting at 8:30am with a departure at ~9am. From there we travel the Rio Hondo river to meet up with the CicLAvia event. After spending some time there we will continue to the Long Beach oceanfront where those who need a recharge can do so, and we can all enjoy some refreshments at Hooters. Then we will continue to Seal Beach (beautiful ocean route) and up the San Gabriel river to return to the starting point. Expect to be gone until 2 or 3pm. The meetup location is the Stonewood Mall, in Downey. Here is the Map Pin RSVP if you'll be joining us. @enigma35 @HeavyGoing @Marvin Ong @Mushuukyou @Tjtripp @Sven @unowheel @Questor @Roll Model @Mike Hanna @Jon Sawa @serfy @swvision @Kimosabi @zentype @ndmcc @Mimir @Josh Morgan Maybe Someday Members @nbxpq3 @Shawn Johnson @IRK @MikeV @Peter Q @Sketch @captainwells @NBC44 @Stan Onymous @Gizmo Dork @Alsayyad @Chairman S @who_the @Dave Frear @roghaj @downtown @Yunicyle @Terenig @Dave U @Flying W @Heyzeus @NightRider @Mike Hanna @Klin @3euc @Unosolo @Williepimpin @Heyzeus @JomMas @BlackOutEX @Freewheeler @TomM @tihoa @Ferreal@Austin @Jesse Wilson @Tarzan @An87ttype @Josh Morgan @WHEELMAN1 @BlackOutEX @JomMas @TomM @roghaj @Yunicycle @Austin @Jambo @Kens Active Members @csmyers @noisycarlos @Tanabe @Dzlchef @Ando Melkonyan @YoshiSkySun @n2eus @maltocs @1Wheeler @Rama Douglas @Nick McCutcheon @Jrkline "Wheel Whisperer" Edited April 23, 2019 by Marty Backe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
