Just under the wire, it's...
COMPLETISM
It's a bike ride.
FRIDAY, January 31, 2025
Departing California Donuts #21 at 9pm
Sometimes co-leading a weekly bike ride was sort of a therapeutic endeavor. Whatever terrible things were going on in the world, there was still one good (or at least okay) thing you could count on, one night of the week. And with no shortage of terrible things in the world right now, it does feel like it would be nice to have a little bit of that comforting certainty again.
On the Passage, we often rode to places just to "see" a thing that was no longer there, and we get to do that again this week, but for a thing that was actually there the first time around. Alas, the Friday's is gone, but we still have Fridays. So we are riding to the erstwhile Friday's this Friday, thematically, with as much comforting certainty as we can muster. Join us for the re-enactment of Passage #494 - TGI Passage's, originally introduced to the world like this:
Yay! More rain! Yep, this Wednesday night rain thing has been quite consistent lately. But The Passage, as you know, is consistently inconsistent. So, rather than bowling (been there) or riding in the rain again (done that), it's a great opportunity to do something new: ride on a Friday!
Yes, while our Wednesday night bike ride has occasionally been a Saturday daytime bike ride, and it actually started out briefly as a Tuesday night bike ride, something it has never been is a Friday night bike ride. And while there have of course been plenty of other Friday night bike rides over the years (especially second Friday bike rides; we've even organized one of those), there's never been the opportunity for you to do a proper Passage ride on a Friday. And maybe, before we end this, that could give some new people a chance to join in, those for whom a weekday evening or weekend day is not possible?
So, yeah, it won't be a game nite or a craft nite or any other rainy-day alternate activity nite; this Friday will be a Passage night, one of our typically atypical bike rides. Thank goodness!
(37 miles; relatively flat)
