The furthest south this proposed route goes is 26th street . . . that's equivalent to about 2000 N.
And technically anything north of the canal corridor (as is the bulk of this route) is the Loop or the West Side.
In all likelihood, if this route is followed, it will end up on the north side like last month (and I think the month before and the month before . . .)
Good question re: whether the ride goes north or south more. I know what my assumption is but actual data could be surprising. I do know that I've rarely not had a loooong-azz ride home to 24th/Western from the mass dragging my 150 lb. sound system when I've brought it . . .

I may be wrong - but it seems like most of the rides go to the south side... hm?

"You're invited to a special early event at The Hideout for a post- Critical Mass after-ride party with DJ Greg Shirilla segueing us into a night of HEAVYINESS featuring RABID RABBIT, SADHU SADHU and THE SWAN KING.
The after-ride party starts at 6pm and is free, but the show (doors at 9pm) is $8. Both are 21+. PLUS if you do the Critical Mass ride and bring a route flyer to The Hideout you get a few bucks off the cover charge of the rock and roll show."
Everything looks great. Just don't get too dissapointed if we get diverted away from the lake at the end. The taste is going on. I can't wait for the ride. Happy Friday
Okay I've printed 400 copies of just the map page totaling 1200 individual fliers. I am going to go cut them out at Kinkos right now. I'll just give the ride organizer the bag full of them and help pass them out as well. See y'all there!
Technically, she is wrong that "most of the rides head south," Bob.
You made it more than clear that you hated this month's proposal for many reasons, but you're usually above letting your bias result in innaccuracy like this.
Last month's ride went to the near south side, the near west side, the near north side, and ended with the LSD excursion at Belmont.
The ride before went to the near and lower west side, near west side, and was supposed to end at Union Park (I don't remember if it did, must have cut out before then). I think it was the ride before that that headed straight towards W. Rogers Park.
We've had rides in the past with destinations like Hyde Park, Rainbow Beach-- but I think if you total them they average maybe 2 out of 12 rides per year (and I may be overly generous there).
But all of this is recorded-- if anyone wants to dispute the above by going back and seeing where we went each month I'd be happy to admit I'm wrong if that's the case.
