Marty Backe Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Come join us for our first Griffith Park night ride of 2019. The weather will be beautiful and we'll have nearly a full moon. This is a spectacular ride with unbelievable views of the Los Angeles cityscape at night. There's a good chance that we will see deer, and there's nothing like the tranquility of gliding through the trails at night. The Griffith Park parking lot closes at 10pm, so you must not park there unless you want to receive a hefty, guaranteed, parking ticket (@Jrkline "Wheel Whisperer"). Park on Los Feliz and wheel into the Meetup Spot Arrive ~8pm so that we can be rolling by 8:30pm. This will give us enough time to travel to the top of the Hollywood Sign (which closes by 10pm). We'll then travel to the Observatory. Do not come with only the light on your wheel. It will be dangerous for you and others. E.g., I'll be using my wrist mounted 1000-lumen light. The ride will probably be wrapped up by ~11pm. I hope you can attend @enigma35 @HeavyGoing @Marvin Ong @Mushuukyou @Tjtripp @Sven @unowheel @Questor @Roll Model @Mike Hanna @Jon Sawa @serfy @swvision @Kimosabi @zentype @ndmcc @Mimir @Josh Morgan @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 @Ben Richards @noisycarlos @Tanabe @Dzlchef @Ando Melkonyan @YoshiSkySun @n2eus @maltocs @1Wheeler @Rama Douglas @Nick McCutcheon @mark chanya @Jrkline "Wheel Whisperer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maltocs Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I need to stop letting my non-EUC riding wife book vacations for our family. It's conflicting with my group riding schedule. Maybe next time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave U Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Count me in on this night ride, It'll be my first night out on trails but I know it'll be a blast! If I only had a 1600wh wheel I would ride all these group rides that are going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And having a bright light that'll last for a few hours is the most important item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All taken care of, I'll have my wheel light, trolley light plus wrist light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave U Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Hopefully @Jrkline "Wheel Whisperer" @Rama Douglas @Dzlchef @Kens @YoshiSkySun @M22plus others will be riding into the dark! Bat Cave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arbolest Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Aww maaaaann... My work schedule right now prevents me from coming, but if we can plan one of these rides 2+ weeks out next time then I might be able to arrange to show up (and maybe even bring a new recruit!!!) I would give a lot to be able to join you guys for this, but I just can't make it down on such short notice... Anyway, it sound's like it'll be a blast for everyone and I hope it is! Enjoy guys!

Dzlchef Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I’d like to attend, maybe a little too quick on the heels of a recent mountain mishap for the misses. Couldn’t have waited one more week Marty?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t have waited one more week Marty?!? Really? This isn't exactly a mountain adventure. It's almost like a ride to the corner drugstore. No risk of getting lost, etc. The night rides are planned around the full moon, and Saturday is going to be a hot day which makes for a pleasant night ride. Everything is coming together for a perfect evening ride. Really hope that maybe you can still swing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My prime renewal is due 2 weeks ago and I choose not to renew it. I did asked my co-worker to order for me yesterday but it will arrive Friday with one day shipping. If there's delay or it come after 5pm then it'll be wasted anyway. But ultimately I'm still not sure about night time riding the last day time ride is scary enough Yeah maybe I'll skip this one and wait for relaxing Cogswell Dam rides next time ( @Dave U get your 1600wh+ soon ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not very fast. I can't imagine you having problems. It's all about enjoying the tranquility of nature at night and the spectacle of the city lights below us.

I suppose I can grab an Uber/Lyft to the area for this ride, since it seems like it'd be an ok ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
