The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time
One or more persons during a certain period drop their usual motives for movement and action, their relations, their work and leisure activities, and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there.
It's a bike ride.
Organized by The Royal Academy and Nathan Snider.
It meets every Wednesday at 8:30pm at California Donuts #21.
We ride at 9pm.
We endeavor to return before the last red line trains
(around midnight).
On this bike ride, you might expect:
- - inconvenient passageways
- - oblique strategies
- - Oulipian constraints
- - cover versions of other people's rides,
- - performed with amateurish enthusiasm
- - amateurish enthusiasm
- - disorientation
- - reorientation
- - pool halls
- - bowling alleys
- - karaoke
- - geocaching
- - full moon picnics
- - traffic median tea parties
- - rivers that no longer exist
- - smell tourism
- - Couchwick v2.0
Furthermore:
- - a medium pace (probably not for beginners;
- - certainly not a hustle)
- - approx. 20-35 miles
- - few stops, short stops
- - but we're not in a rush; we don't need to run every light
- - victory donuts!
