Re: [RBW] Los Angeles Riv Ride

[galen....@gmail.com]

Hi all,
Looks like it was a great ride with a good turnout. Wish I could have 
attended. 

Next weekend is Crash the Marathon.  Early Sunday March 17th—role out at 
4am. Is anyone planning to ride?
 I'm leading a feeder ride from the west side (Mar Vista) if any of you are 
interested in that or else meeting at the starting line (4334 Sunset Blvd, 
Los Angeles, CA 90026). Lmk!

Re: [RBW] Re: Los Angeles Riv Ride

Hi all, 
I'd like to join an LA Riv Ride. I'm on the westside, near Keith P. but I 
could bike, metro or drive to a starting point further east.
Looks like things are trending toward the 17th. I unfortunately can't make 
it that day—enjoy the ride. 
If there's a pivot to the 11th/12th I could ride. Or maybe see some of you 
at the crash the marathon ride March 16?

 Hey folks,
 Anybody free for an early February meet up and ride? Ted D. is in town 
 during the week of the 12th, so this seems like a great opportunity for a 
 fun, super causal ride.

 Sunday the 11th 
 Monday the 12th (state holiday)
 Saturday the 17th

 What do you think?
