June 30th is the day for celebration, film, and fun...but mostly for bikes!
The Main Events:
- 9-10am celebration of the next 3.2 miles of the Santa Anta River Trail & Parkway (SART)
- 1:30pm-??? Bicycle Film Festival in L.A.
The Plan:
You don't have to show up for the whole thing, but if you wanna catch up with us along the way, hook up with one of our contributors beforehand and get a cell number or something.
But, it would be rockersville if we had a full-on car-less crew to represent.

I am thinking of staying down and catching the festivities on Sunday as well.
Hey jb,
Kelly and I signed up for the 8-10 shift on Saturday. We get comp tickets for all of Friday and Saturday's programs. :)
I would've thought one would have to do a shift prior to getting comps, but that's not the case.
I have a friend who can take me and Kelly in for the night, but I dunno yet if we're gonna stay or catch a late train back.
I'll put a change of underwear in my messenger bag just in case.

I am printing out a section of this for the nightride to Santa Monica after the films... It would be nice if the IE had such a map.
Hey,
what happened to Becky and Heather?
we are here we are still deciding if we can go we need to get the cash! And thats cool to postpone the ride this month i guess.....:( but yeah its all good whatever people feel they watn to do family come first!
Hey Heather,
I hear you on the cash note.
I am volunteering for a 2-hour shift on Saturday night, and it's getting me into all the shows for free...including shows prior to my shift.
jb's comment above has all the details on that.
