Not looking good this year. They want me to pay for the insurance which I definitely cant afford.

This is the 10 year anniversary of Wolfpack Hustle (technically 11 for the Tangs at Ten / Monday night rides) and I have to say, I love everything we've done and all of the partners for their support to bring us to where we are today. That being said, Im going to bow out of organizing a ride on the Marathon course this year. Im awaiting instructions from the city as to how they plan to manage a ride if they manage it at all. I will let you know soon. Thank you everyone for all the good times over the years and I will always love cycling and Los Angeles. We all TOGETHER have changed the landscape here and will continue to do so.

*********** FROM THE MAYOR *********************************

The word from Mayor Garcetti's office is in:

"The marathon route will be secured within the City of LA for cyclists beginning a recreational ride from Sunset and Fountain at 5:00am.

Any riders who fall behind the pace of the group will be asked to leave the course. Riders must follow the directions of City officials, including LAPD and LADOT officers."

*********** ABOUT THE RIDE *********************************


* THERE ARE LITTLE TO NO SAFETY MEASURES IN PLACE.
YOU ARE RIDING ON STREETS WITH POTENTIAL FOR
EQUIPMENT AND PEOPLE ON THE COURSE. RIDE SAFE.
* YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOURSELF AND
FOR RIDING SAFE AT ALL TIMES
* THIS IS A CASUAL FUN RIDE.
* THIS IS NOT A RACE.
* THERE IS NO SUPPORT.
* LAPD WILL BE SECURING THE ROUTE
* BUT THE ROUTE WILL NOT BE CLOSED OUTSIDE OF LA CITY.
* STAY BEHIND THE POLICE.
* THANK THE POLICE
* THANK THE MAYOR
* THANK THE MARATHON PEOPLE

* The City is allowing riders access to a closed course WITHIN CITY LIMITS. OTHER CITIES ARE NOT PARTICIPATING AND THEREFORE YOU MUST STAY BEHIND THE LAPD OR BE SUBJECT TO TRAFFIC LAWS.

* UNDERSTAND that even with a closed course motor vehicles may wander, take a wrong turn etc. LOOK and call out everything so everyone can be safe.
