The Anniversary Rides were each a complete success!!! To celebrate, I hosted the ride in 5 different areas, 5 nights in a row. 5 nights of endless de-friendlessness! Every area had a different response to the ride, and the riders of the ride varied as well. To keep track of it all, I made a Facebook Status Update record as it happened. To recap:
LIVE FROM THE FRIENDLESS FIELD:
FOTF 323. 11/22 . Great turnout, quirky ride spirit, great kickoff!
"Already at tangs, first time ive been early since last April I think. I'm gonna try and chart the friends here on fb"
"Chris with a baby uphill w silverlake and simpler times, Morgan uphill with a rumor and vodka"
"Marcello of Hollywood's slogan: "FUCK IT"..."
FOTF 213. 11/23 . Huge turnout, loud and wild vibe, my favorite ride! A new FOTF tradition started by K-Town of chanting the new friend's name immediately! Great night!
"Eric the gay acid cowboy, suv Monday night reject roundup, Fernando needs a raise, Andre the sidewalk king, yugi the questionable, and now teks bike got stolen at cvs beer break."
"Jesus of Boyle Heights, liquor stop, hollenbeck construction park, maybe bike n bake."
"Bike n bake rulzz. Drinking whiskey meeting New Skool ride leaderzz"
"I slept 2hrs on a sidewalk, bnb rulzz"
FOTF 818. 11/24 . Super fun ride with more miles than "friends". It happens, still fun! Good vibe from 818ers!
"Pizza Guy on the sidewalk, friendless stretch, king David of highland park, Luis who was talked out of riding the bus, Ayla the valley girl, Tallcans cameo, Que Ricos closer."
FOTF 310. 11/25 . I had an emergency, there were notes by Alec Schwarz. I cant seem to find them but I'll keep looking!
FOTF 2YR 310 OG! . Great daytime adventure, great turnout too! I'd suggest this be the traditional way to spend a Thanksgiving Day in Los Angeles. It will go on til infinity!
"Weirded daddy daughter duo, we owe ray $500, mute Norm tourist or homeless, Victor the tweaker at the vansion hotel with Melinda, first-time Scott shop. Waiting for Scott to get pumpkin pie at whole foods."
"While waiting for Scott, Xavier showed up with 1200% positivity and rocked with us wherever we were going. Took Scott back to volunteer work at sm auditorium with a Scott-Chant, Xavier chanted with us. Took x home while telling him about MR scene stuff and group bike parties. He told me that this is why he moved to soc...al, and that this was the best thanksgiving ever. You'll meet x soon."
That's it! All-in-all a little bit of LA history that we made via bicycles! I havent hosted one in 6 months, so I'm thinking to try a few in July. Excited!
