HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

Desert Rose is yummy!!!!

Okay so yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting my friend Maria for lunch in Los Feliz.

We met at a really cute place called the Desert Rose Restaurant.
One of the things that made us want to come here was this giant glass rose they have going up the front of their building. I have passed it many times, and always thought it looked cute.

The Desert Rose has a great outdoor patio with fountains, and umbrellas. There are a lot of tables both indoors and out, so if there was a wait, I would assume it wouldnt take to long to get a table. We sat outside, and it was a little warm. I really wanted something to drink that was refreshing. I highly recommend the Ginger Mojito. Super yummy!!!!! It hit the spot.

They have a great drink menu, with a lot of wine, and specialty cocktails which I cannot wait to try. There food menu is great too, lots of interesting choices.

We both tried to be good, and got great salads, but we weren't all good... we shared a warm brie cheese, crackers and fruit tray. It was delicious.

If you are looking for a new place to try for breakfast, lunch or dinner, this place is a good one. They also have happy hour M-F 5pm-7pm. Good deals!!!!

Bikes, bikes, bikes and more... silly hats?

Atomic Cycles, a bike repair shop that can fix, paint, cutomize your bike, and they sell vintage bikes will be hosting
their Chopper Cabras 8th Annual Spring Thing, The Silly Hat Ride.

What is this you ask? Total and utter mayhem... filled with good times, and bicycles.

The event starts at noon, on Sunday May 31st, be there by noon or you will miss good times, and you should bring your own bike, and a silly hat. Now come on do not be afraid to wear a silly hat, there will hundreds of people standing next to you wearing silly hats.


Here is a list of whats gonna go down:

Super big figure 8 race:
A lot of small bikes trying to do 15 laps on a figure 8 circuit, all at once.

Pedal n' Puke race:
16" tall bikes, groups of 3 race to one end, get off their bikes do 5 spins with their heads on poles, the goal is to be the first to do 3 laps.

The Big, Bigger, Biggest Battle Royale:
This one is quick and dirty. 20 tall bikes will be in a ring of death. Each rider will have foam weapons.

The Demolition Derby:
This one will hurt. 12 bikes will have metal rams on the front of their bikes, no rules, just win.

after all these events, there will be a bike ride.



The ride will be a leisurely pace, with hundreds of riders riding the streets of North Hollywood. The idea is to sort of have a bike crawl. But, playing it safe is the goal.

When the ride is done, you will be back at Atomic Cycles for a bbq. A FREE bbq.


All of the events besides the ride are volunteer events, you need to sign up before the day of. Check out the website, and click on the flier for more info, and rules and what not.

This really sounds fun. I am so sad I will be outta town that weekend. I mean can you picture it... all these macho people riding tiny little bikes in figure 8's...with collisions happening left and right? Hilarious!!!!!!

I am very sad I cannot make this event!!!!!! Please go, have some laughs, ride a bike and have some bbq.
