Here is some additional information regarding the route https://goo.gl/maps/Y4xFh. There are some limited accommodations being made to shuttle drivers home who are uncomfortable riding at night. Please email me for information if you are interested in this accommodation. From Yield to Life… The route follows major streets through the San Fernando Valley and Griffith Park to Downtown Los Angeles. Riders will be expected to stay alert and follow all traffic laws. The ride is scheduled to arrive in Downtown just after sunset, therefore lights are required by law. The route is 30 miles. Riders should come prepared with water and snacks to stay fueled. Shorter options: Start at the L.A. Zoo parking lot (5333 Zoo Dr, Griffith Park, CA 90027) for an approximately 10-mile ride into Downtown. Please arrive no later than 6:15 and be ready to ride by 6:30 p.m. Start in Calabasas, ride 17 miles to the Universal City Red Line station (located at Lankershim Blvd and Campo de Cahuenga), and take the Red Line to Civic Center, where the D.A.’s office is located (210 W Temple Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012). Riders who lag behind the main group will be asked to take this option. Join us for the vigil. People are welcome to skip the ride and meet us at the D.A.’s office. The ride is expected to arrive between 7:30 and 8:00 p.m. Meet us along the way. We will do our best to live-tweet our location with the hashtag #rideformilt. Follow @lacbc. Getting to the ride: The start is on a suburban section of Mulholland Highway with little to no on-street parking (approximate address: 22532 Mulholland Hwy, Calabasas, CA 91302). We recommend taking the Metro Orange Line or Orange Line Bike Path to De Soto or Canoga and riding from there. Free park-and-rides are available along the Orange Line. Check out the Facebook event (https://www.facebook.com/events/371268539688785/)and feel free to post feeder rides there. Getting from the ride: The best option is always riding (with lights!) or taking transit. If you parked at a Metro Orange Line park-and-ride, take the Red Line from Civic Center to North Hollywood. Then either transfer to the Orange Line (limit 3 bikes per bus) or ride along the Orange Line Bike Path to your car. On 2014-08-31 08:43, president@cvcbike.org wrote:
Many of you have seen this on social media. Below is some additional information about the event. It looks like the ride will continue past dusk and into the evening. Please be prepared for a night ride (light, flasher, reflective clothing).
Yield to Life along with The LA County Bicycle Coalition will host a ride and vigil for Milt Olin to call on the DA to revisit the investigation and consider pressing charges.
