Critical Mass Massing
Critical Mass assembling in Daley Plaza, Friday, August 25, 2006.
I like taking photos and I like jigsaw puzzles. Boom! Panography! (You can zoom in a little, if you like.)
I guess I didn’t get the “Under the Sea” memo, as there was a lobster in a trap, and a starfish, and a blowfish and surfer girl on this months ride. And some frogs, but I’m not sure if amphibians count.
Oh wait, I know why I didn’t get the memo — I signed up for the CCM mailing list and was getting hundreds (literally) of off-topic messages. I already get too much email — I had to unsubscribe that shit.
I did the ride this past Friday. It was pretty fun especially since it went up through the north side, including Michigan Ave, Gold Coast, Lincoln Park and Lakeview, even parts of North Center and Lincoln Square. Streets I know very well, just have never rode with hundreds of riders at my side.
It was fun to watch all you ride past my house in Ravenswood Manor. Since we didn’t know the route ahead of time, at first we just assumed everyone was rallying towards the govenor’s house. But then you all turned east and didn’t even stop to say hello! Maybe next time.
