Road Ride Midnight Express 11/15-16

I just registered for this charity ride benefiting the LA County Bike Coalition. Starts downtown then head up Angeles Crest and over to Acton. Looks like a fun adventure and the weather should be perfect. Anyone here interested? Registration closes Friday.

The Midnight Express Ride is a fundraiser event for the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition - and in its first year, it is already setting out to be an event like no other. On November 15th, 2008, riders will assemble at Union Station in downtown Los Angeles at midnight - and shortly thereafter, on November 16th, just after the last Gold Line train pulls into the station, the riders will begin an epic journey featuring monumental landscapes bathed in moonlight, routes through towns deep in the arms of sleep, and climbs that will take the riders far above the blanket of lights from the city.

 

This could be fun.....:-k

Wait there is no down hill after the climb? FORGET IT!!!!!

 

There is quite a bit of downhill.

 

Tempting. Anyone know if a car is cool in the Union Station parking lot all night? As in will it get towed out? Coming from OC there's no chance of me making it up there via public transportation--unless I set out for LA on the 14th.

 

The 595 Amtrak leaves OC around 10ish. The overnight lot should be fine.

 

Its capped at 60 riders so hurry and register if your gunna do it

 

What is with the price to ride being so freeking expensive. I know its for charity but 50 bucks to ride on a public road. It a bit expensive for a map dont you think? They should have student discounts in my opinion.


unless they are shutting down the streets for the ride then the 50 bucks is definatly worth it.

 

I don't think so.

A) It's a fundraiser.
B) It's supported.
C) You get breakfast.
D) It's not expensive considering most sporting events are at least this much. Try being a runner and you'll spend $70-120 to run for a couple hours..

 

FYI, this has been postponed until the 14th.
