For the past two weeks, Councilman Tom LaBonge has led Wednesday night bicycle rides through his 4th District. Tomorrow night, August 6th, the ride comes local, as LaBonge takes cyclists on a two-wheeled tour of Downtown.

The ride leaves at 6:15pm from City Hall, and runs about 10 miles, including a stop for ice cream. CD4's release says to expect an 8pm end time.

The route includes a trip up to the Cornfields (or, officially, the Los Angeles State Historic Park), two trips across the Los Angeles River (via 4th and 6th), a turn through the Fashion District and a closing pass through the 2nd street tunnel.

The route sounds interesting. Hopefully, someone will go and report back.

I'm seriously thinking about going.. there's also the Skid Row Watch walk this evening, I believe. If I end up going I'll bring my camera.. you know the ice cream angle is making the ride sound x-tra good. ;)
